This
mornings commute was awesome. Could have been awesomer(yes it becomes a
real word if I type it on the internet) if I'd just had a tad more
gearing on the single speed. I came into the climb up the hill this
morning about 20yards behind a roadie in full kit. He was keeping a
nice easy pace and I thought, maybe I can catch up and say hi. The idea
of me on a rigid single speed mountain bike catching
up with this guy just made me smile. So I threw some extra coal on the
fire and opened up the steam. I was spinning as fast as I could and
just didn't have the gearing to catch him. If I'd had the slingshot, I
would have but, it also wouldn't have been as sweet. Gears make it feel
like cheating. So it's time to change the ratio on the SS. Something
to give me a little more top end.
