I always wonder how mtb ss/fg people can stand riding with those 30/20 or whatever gear ratios- especially the fixies! Imagine the insane spinning while negotiating steep singletrack downhills.. The mind boggles.

Even with a freewheel, it just looks unfun. Do I just have amnesia? Was I that much slower when I used to bomb trails on my old Fisher?

Thinking back to my mtb days makes me really want to build up a cyclocross burner, with some midges

Gah bikes too fun pocketbook ow
