If God wanted us to ride single speed he would not have given us gears... Ditto on Shocks...

My next bike will probably be a rigid SS 29er. Will definitely need to have the option of fitting a front susp fork though.

Because the world loves to overcomplicate things!!! Thats why! If they can make it bigger, squishier, shinier, easier, more parts, more creeks, more stuff it has to be better right?  NOT ;D

Good bro! How have you guys been doing? Plugging along for now. Headed back to Africa for a while. Not sure if I'm going to bring my bike this time. Probably. Looking forward to doing a couple of the NUE races next year though..
