First race on SS and first race on this frame. Previously occassional geared racer. Really loved it and don't feel I was any worse off for not having gears at my level. Fortunately the ice/snow melted to mud otherwise I might have been under-geared.
I think you’re right btw, I don’t think there is a significant disadvantage to having a single gear for most people in cross. The course can be a factor, but even then if you gear accordingly, you can be competitive.
