Switched to MTB and hydraulic brakes thinking it would be peeing down. Wrong. So ground out a few miles on very knobblies and convinced myself it's good for fitness. Love the noise too. Slower than single speed and therefore safer? Have to say yes. Pleasant ride - 7 out of 10 mainly because slow is....well....slow!
