Hi,
I entered a local 25-mile race this morning. I was the only singlespeeder as far as I could see.
Put in a time that I would have been happy with on a geared bike, but it got me thinking about how much extra time we should 'allow ourselves' for only having the one gear. This was a pretty hilly route, so it has to make a difference.
What do people reckon, percentage-wise?
