single speed
Strange sounds on the converted single speed . . . .
OK,
A long time ago we converted our scale 40 to a single speed. Now running 44/16 with slicks as the commute bike.
A nice surprise in the mail
Got home after a very ordinary day at work, and look what was waiting for me 
'Tis a Spot Rocker 29er belt drive single-speed. First time for me on both a 29er and a singlespeed.
The weather looks promising for the weekend, although unfortunately the Dam is probably still going to be too wet. Once I've had a couple of rides by myself to get used to the thing, I'll probably organise a Show and Tell ride for those who might be interested. 
Top Day Out
What a great afternoon and evening of riding and racing.
And a really nice change to ride in conditions that weren’t like a blast furnace. I went back to my tried and true strategy of just enjoying the ride and saving the racing if there was to be any for the last lap or two and it worked as I was able to finish the race with a quick lap and some solid uphill climbing to hold on for second place.
Lots of fun and a great short track that really was very enjoyable.
Round 2 - Sunday 17th Jan.
Charge Duster SS gear ratios
Thanks to K-Rudd, I've finally been given the green light to get a new bike for my bumpy work commute. After much deliberation, I've decided to go with a Charge Duster SS: http://www.chargebikes.com/products/bikes/detail...
I would like a little bit of help please, to decide on what gear ratio to use so that I can get the right chainring sorted.
Dabbling with Singlespeed
Hey guys, I know I'll probably be shot down for this, but I was just thinking of dabbling in some singlespeed. I was thinking of getting into it as a DIY project and just slowly build one up over time. Nothing urgent or immediate
What makes it slightly different is I was thinking of having a multi-purpose SS bike. SS to commute for added training (rather than add km's) and a SS for fun on the trails. Could this be as simple as 1 bike, 2 sets of wheels? Then there is the question of rigid fork or suspension, 29 or 26 and many others.
