But, can you explain what the whole single speed/ simple is better thing is all about. I persoanlly don;t get it. I like having a plush ride, i like having many gears, and i just don't seem to see what's so appealing about simple and one speed.
if anyone can elaborate on this without denouncing me as a hater, i'm not trying to hate. I'm trying to understand the mentality behind simple, no suspension single speeders
You don't have to mess w/ the adjusting of derailleurs. When you're going on a trail you dont have to worry about something happening to your derailleur like a stick getting caught and breaking it.
I recently converted a road bike to a SS (soon to be a fixie) and love the simplicity of it, I can just go, and not have to worry about changing gears.
It's all preference.
