Why Singlespeed?
Posted in Racing, Dirt Report by Conrad SnoverSinglespeeding is an absolute blast. Remember growing up as a kid and having a bike with only one gear, maybe it even had a coaster brake? Remember racing your friends up and down the street, to school and back, and through “The Ravine” (or your neighborhood’s equivalent)? THAT’s what it’s all about.
Here’s the way it goes down: don’t even think about shifting, don’t slow down as you approach a hill to figure out which gear you need, don’t miss a shift, don’t break a chain, don’t brake as much, learn to work momentum, ride faster, smile more.
Other reasons?
- It makes easy/old trails hard/new
- It’s quiet - no chain noise
