Ive noticed with my riding out here I should do SS I stay 34/17 through my ride. I am just not used to shifting....I get up and down everything just fine but I do have to dismount on the gnar up ****. I can make it close to the top but then I start bouncing the front tire I even bottomed out my craptastic Suntour 100mm that came stock on my GF and spinning the rear. Most of our up is on roots and rocks so traction is limited to begin with.
