I contemplated getting a SS for commuting in the winter just because of how hard the rain and muck is on my drivetrain. I think it would be harder on my knees but I could probably manage OK. I would definitely be slower though!
Greg, once again I agree with you and if that is what Roll meant that is fine to.
This statement from another member is just waxing poetic :
Nothing wrong with living in the past when it comes to biking.
It's a bike, not rocket science.
Why not just use solid rubber tires and reduce the chances of flats.
