^ from my observations of YAL terrorising innocent people in the streets, it is eminently possible to whipskid like a boss on ss.
FWIW I switched back to ss while I was at the Redbridge cycling centre the other week so I could boss it round the corners and after the initial "ugh, do not want" I came to really like it for some reason. I suppose I just <3 my bike regardless of its drivetrain behaviour.
I love you, bike, unconditionally. x
