FG MTB makes no sense to me for offroading even though I have known several riders who rode them, but SS MTB is well worth the conversion and is very easy to do with just a chain tensioner and it allows reversion to geared if you choose. My Monocog 29er is SS and I love it for what I built it for, but if you want a FG road bike/commuter get a proper road frameset. The MTB frameset will never perform as well as a road frameset will on the road, FG SS or not.
