Just wondering, How much of a difference does it make, smoother ride?
Compared to a 26" wheeled bike, do you find yourself shifting to easier
gears? I ride XC and some road, always been curious.

Singlespeed - No gears and don't need 'em!

I find it feels just as nice as my full suspension on my local trails.
Of course, that may be different elsewhere. It's also way easier for
the logovers we have here. Just rolls right over them.

Hmmm, I thought 29ers were only for overgrown Freaks?

Gag. It's sad that the bicycle industry is in such a depression that
they have to grasp at straws to try to resurrect it.

Don't own one or feel I need one, though I don't have a big issue with
it. Makes a lot more sense than bikes designed only to go downhill.

Musta missed it. Anyway, single speeds are like Transsexuals; might
look useful at 1/4 mile, but the closer you get, the more you realize
there is something very, very wrong.

Okay, let me get this straight.

- MTBers: straight men and women, both with a touch of the macho.
- Roadies: Gay
- Those who MTBer and Roadie: BIcyclists
- 29ers: Trannies?

If you're saying that 29ers are MTBs trying to be Roadies or vice
versa... you may be on to something there.

Last thought: With all the downhill specific places closing down, would
that make:
- Downhillers: eunuchs?

Great idea, after all motos have had 18" rear/21" front, or similar, for
years. I'd rather have a 24 in back and 26 in front with fatter tires,
though.
