Point being, with a geared bike, and thus available options, I'm often in a "grass is greener in the other gear" mode of thought, never wholly satisfied with my current combo. On the SS, none of that even factors in. I just ride.
yeah i can see that.. though especially with my 1x7 shifting is pretty much a reflex. i drive stick shift in my car too so it's second nature for me
I just picked up a Hardrock mtb that i saw had horizontal drop outs and i was like sweet i can SS it.. but when i pulled out the wheel it had "fake out" drops lol.. there's some metal in the middle of the drop so it's kinda like a vertical drop.. bastards
