This SS thing is starting to mess with my mind....

I was convinced this week to go from 2 x 10 to 1 x 10....

Eish now SS :unsure:

What now..   should I, shouldnt I...???
I'll make you a deal.... I'm thinking of taking my SS and turn it into a 1x10 :ph34r: Then balance is restored again :whistling:

Ed Zackery the same.

The only difference I'd say would be wider bars - sometimes you need to wrench that one gear to get it up a hill!

Oh and wider tyres if you're going rigid.

sorry but whats up with wider tyres?

When you go rigid wider tyres act as the only "suspension" you have.

ESI grips also go from "nice to have" to "essential".

Carbon, Steel or Titanium. All have some flex compared to Aluminium.
Previously Just Keep Pedaling, until the racist password recovery process of the the Hub locked me out ;-)

Im considering riding with a pair of over gloves for extra padding on the SS.

At the moment the steel fork, Fizik grips and 2.4" tyre is doing the job quite nicely. I have gloves with padding in the palms.
