Hello, I am doing this year's ride, and have decided to get to one week before to start worrying about my bike. Maybe you guys can set my mind at ease... I have a single speed 29er, which is lovely and I do prefer riding that to my other bike, a standard 26" mountain bike. But that has got gears you see....
I know I should get a road bike, but I don't have the money. I would happily sway the MTB for a road bike, but don't have the time.
So, am I going to be OK on a single speed? I know, silly question. But do people do it on SSs?
My SS is running at about 55 gear inches. Is that too high. or not high enough?
What do you think?
Slick tyres, 60 psi and a few more gear inches will save you literally hours.
