My physique certainly does not help one bit.
I think one of the reasons I want to go with the SS is the simplicity of it. Am I that far off base?
Well, maybe its a good idea if you can find one gear ratio that works for you, and as you improve your conditioning you can change the setup to a different gearing? Like I said, I'm no expert on single gear bikes!
I'm the same way about not wanting to shift, but I'm trying to work on finding the right gear for the terrain so I can improve my technique and get better at riding.
