Let's discuss the benefits and drawbacks of riding a single speed mountain bike. Learn techniques, advantages, and the negatives of riding with only one gear.
Dan and Sage got into mountain biking just when the single speed scene was exploding! The guys discuss how single speeding shaped their current riding technique and if they'd recommend a single speed for other riders. Momentum, power transfer, line choice and trusting your skills become paramount on a bike with only one gear. There are drawbacks too which are discussed at length.
Overall, Dan & Sage are both fans of single speeds and still ride them on occasion. What about you? Do you have a single speed? Do you ride it? Have you had one in the past? Is a single speed in your future? What about an aggressive hardtail or even a full suspension single speed!? Let's drop in!
