Do you remember the first time you saw someone riding a singlespeed SS mountain bike? I wanted to do a post that might convince some of you to give singlespeeding a try for yourselves. There are already tons of blog and forum posts on the interweb about the benefits of SSing light, simple, quiet, builds strength, etc. I lent my 29er singlespeed to five non-singlespeed riding buddies to get their thoughts. They might do a race or two every year for fun, but they primarily ride because they enjoy it. My bike, a Vassago Jabberwocky. The one thing that I noticed and could get used to was how quiet a singlespeed is. Just the tires on the dirt. Never knew how noisy the derailleurs were. Also seemed like as soon as I pushed down on the pedal there was power, no delay at all. I was worried about two climbs: the first one, going up Boulder Creek, was a lot easier than I expected. To be honest though, I struggle up this one even with a geared bike. Long ascents were not as bad — I got off the saddle a bit more than I normally would. Overall the climbs were not as bad as I thought they would be. I am also certain that given a few weeks on a singlespeed that the climbs would be a non-issue. It did seem that you needed to go a certain speed or cadence or else you might be walking. The downside that I noticed was on long downhills — I wanted to put it into a higher gear to get more speed. Eventually I overcame this by picking up the cadence. I also rode a section of paved road from Keg to in Wildwood to see how I would like it. Again I was reaching for phantom shifters. And again I had to overcome by picking up the cadence. I believe over time these problems would be non-issues. Overall I did not miss the gears and the quietness of a singlespeed trumped the few times I really wished I had them. Less complexity, noise, weight, parts, maintenance is more fun. Rider 2: David K. STATS — Age: 43 Years Riding: 3. I rode every hill without stopping; even the 2-mile climb out of Great Wall cw. Overall though, it wasnt a bad fit. Although, not due to lack of gears but the lack of chain slap I could hear the chain slapping on Pauls bike. However, not sure if it was the SS, 29er wheels, or the knowledge that if I didnt get enough speed or pound hard enough I would get stuck? Knowing that there isnt an easier gear available is a great motivator for hills. Mostly as a penance bike for the day after a bad ride or when I bag a ride due to laziness. No cheating hills with a single speed. I wouldnt have guessed. Never thought of myself progressing to the third stage but this ride has me thinking. No shifters makes for a simple, clean, uncluttered cockpit. Rider 3: Tom Z. After all, I spent the first 13 — 14 years of my life riding a singlespeed bike. And we rode everywhere then — through woods, fields, in the clay pit behind my house. Gears were something your mom had on her bike — a 3-speed cruiser. You were a sissy if you had a 10-speed which the rest of us were secretly envious of. So I chose the to ride as it is representative of 75 — 80% of the riding I do. Maybe because I have been struggling with rear derailleur issues for so long, but it felt very liberating to ride without gears. The ride was definitely quieter. Yes, I had to come out of the saddle a few times more that I normally would have. The trail was very trashy from recent storms — a lot of trees and limbs down to climb over and around. Despite that, I thought my ride time was pretty good — 55 minutes in 7 miles and about 5 minutes less out. On this trail, I found myself wanting a higher gear more often than a lower one. If I was slower than normal, I think it was on the flat and downhill sections when I normally would have pushed into a higher gear. The bottom line is, now that I have a new geared bike 3 x 10 , I convinced myself to convert my old bike to SS. Maybe my opinions will change when I have to do more climbing. Hopefully I will get stronger. Trent rode the SS with platform pedals. Rider 4: Trent S. STATS — Age:34 Years Riding: 10+ My Bike: 2011 Specialized Camber Elite 29er full suspension 29er First impressions like most of the trails at FATS, Skinny starts with a long section of downhill and very, very quickly within 50 yards of the parking lot I ran out of spinning speed. I love going fast, so not being able to do so under my own pedal-power was frustrating at first. I caught myself trying to pedal a few times where I clearly couldnt match my rolling speed. After I accepted the fact that gravity and a light touch on the brakes would dictate my top speed, I got into it. The first thing I noticed was that instead of barreling down the trail like I do on my 29er FS and grabbing handfuls of brakes moments before potential disasters at big hits or sharper-than-expected turns, I was rolling at a more leisurely speed and found myself enjoying setting up jumps and smoothly carving through corners. Sure the overall pace of the ride was slower, but it ended up being more enjoyable. Later in the ride, I also seemed to have more energy than normal. It could be attributable to knowing I needed to beat the rain back to the Jeep, but I like to think that it was due to the single speed. Normally I like rolling along in the big ring, pushing hard gears. With the single speed, I had no choice but to enjoy the ride at a more leisurely pace and it saved my legs for the uphill battle back to the parking lot. Normally at that point, my quads are starting to feel it and there are a few hills I dread. Now, even though I was climbing in a tougher gear than Id normally try to attempt, I had some reserves that pushed me through the steep spots. I was riding platform pedalsagain. If the Jabberwockeys geometry were a little different, itd be a lot like riding my old BMX through the woods. Again, a single speed is best in the woods. It felt really slow riding through the neighborhood on the way to the trail. Reminds me of when I was a kid riding a BMX. The easiest thing to do is stand up, pedal as fast as you can for a few moments, then cruuuuise. Once on the canal trailwell, I was concentrating more on getting back to the house in time for Stacey to pick me up for our trip to Beaufort to really notice many differencesexcept a whole new respect for single speed riders who fly through the woods. Dont know how they do it. There are so many spots on the trail where you could really pick up some speed, but I didnt manage to do that. Maybe Ill try again with clipless pedals. Bottom line Id love to have one. As a second bike. Rider 5: Stacey W. STATS: Age: 30 Years Riding: 2. For instance, when a tight turn came just before a climb knowing I couldnt drop it down a gear to make the climb easier , I didnt wimp out by squeezing the brakes. I kept all the momentum I could, went wider and leaned harder into the turns, which is what I should be doing anyway! Its good basic training and brought me back to the fundamentals of riding momentum, shifting weight etc. The workout was more intense and I enjoyed the exertion I felt afterwards. Id love to have a single speed for a second bike! Thanks to Brian, David, Tom, Trent, and Stacey for trying the bike and taking the time to write up their thoughts on it. What do YOU think about SS MTBing? Tell us what you think in the comments section. July 28, 2011 at 8:27 am I grew up shredding, racing, and riding SS and had a total blast! Since then I have converted over to gears. After all these years of pushing my steeds bikes to the limit with gears, I finally started back in SS riding again and realize how much more fun it is besides being more healthy and a better workout, being on dirt or in the concrete jungle. The simplicity of SS is far better than anything geared and less costly to replace or repair in the long run. But I have come to enjoy and respect the SS once more and is a more affective drivetrain for the freeriding. In the process I also learned how to work on bikes. I enjoy climbing much more on a SS, it is more rewarding and usually faster. Personally, I am trying to keep my quiver to one mountain bike only. One less complicated decision to make. I would highly recommend converting a bike over purchasing a new one. It is more fun and it recycles an old ride. Stay away from cheap chain tensioners the surly works well in push-up mode or build an ENO eccentric wheel. I also ride a freshly built Vassago Jabberwocky single and I love it more then I thought I would to be honest. Trent complained about having too short a gear, but he tends to push a taller than normal gear — which is why he had more energy at the end of his ride: spinning an easy gear is more efficient. Going 12mph 90rpm takes less effort than going 12mph 50rpm. Since the SS forced him to pedal at a higher cadence than normal he had more energy left at the end of the ride. Yeah, I see these dudes up where I go. I know they have really strong legs. I invented the single-speed, by the way, in 1981 when I acquired a free junk 10-speed, and could not afford to replace the gear cluster or fix the deraillers. My next build will be a 1×7, but I may have to wait until this SS thing blows off before I can find a frame. I fear the disc brakes are here to stay, so I will have to custom fabricate a frame with V-brake bosses. This youngster DGaddis moves to Augusta and hits the trails and forums. On the forums, he seems like a eager tyke. Me and a friend of mine end setting up a ride with DGaddis. We show up, both on SS hardtails, while DG is on his Giant FS. And their on steel hardtails. Then we commenced to ride away on DG on the first climb. Then I read this post on here and gotta smile. I am damn glad DG is our youngster. It would be fine with me if he went back where he came from and brought 10-20 more people just like him. It was my 3rd mtn bike ride, and I was on my shiny new full suspension mountain bike the most expensive thing I had ever bought at that point in my life , and I got my butt kicked by two old guys on steel!!! It was the first of many humbling mtn bike experiences! Partner in trail biz was down working on FATS phase3 and had no bike with him. I lent him my 26er SS and he rode the original 4 loops at FATS on it. It was the first time he had ever ridden this bike and the first time he had ridden a SS more than just tooling around on it in a parking lot. He came home that night and told me that he broke his PR on those 4 loops by 10 minutes. He kept saying how the bike would just go and once you get it to speed you hold it there and never let up. So there ya go. I now have a 29er SS same one as DGaddis and love it. I only see 29er SS at the big events now. I never 26er SS anymore at the races. A friend on f88me. While not an exact duplicate experience, everyone can get an idea of the feel of SS by keeping their geared bike in one ratio for the entire ride. Way expensive and forces some design constraints on the frame. They also require really high tension that wears stuff out faster hub and BB bearings. The new centertrack belts are suppose to be better, needing less tension and not so perfect alignment, but they are even more expensive. I have found riding rock gardens not to be much harder. Riding rocky uphills have been pretty much impossible for me thus far. The only way I see it happening is building some momentum, bombing through it, and hoping for the best. Being able to track stand helps too. I also find myself doing a lot of short back pedaling in technical sections to adjust for the SS gearing. It is a bit heavier going up around 24 lbs , but a blast coming down.
