@ Platini, my point was that it depends on what one means by single-speed. yes it's a tautology because it reiterates the same thing twice, but people often use 'single-speed' to' differentiate from 'fixed-gear' for instance. The name of the forum, fixed gear and single-speed, identifies two different groups of bikes, yet a fixed-gear is also a specific type of single-speed. in common use, single-speed impies a freewheel. see what i mean?
