In this episode I give single speed riding a try. My buddy Cody helped me get my bike set up for the trails in sedona with a 34/22, and it's time to go test it out to see if it's for me. I was NOT prepared! Become a Patron today: / hardtailparty

I love my single speed , it’s actually helped me get faster on the trail. I actually prefer riding my single speed. More single speed content would be really well received thanks

Don’t forget we all had single speeds when we were 10 years old 🤣 and didn’t ever think about it .

I really enjoy seeing xc/lycra guys and trail/baggies guys having fun riding together, and not hung up on their specific mtb costume.

Dude, you can SS anywhere. Just use the "2nd gear" (walking) if it gets too difficult. I have no problems riding SS at Henry Coe, I like hiking too. Haha

@tomf2013 3 года назад

Never try to keep up with a fit SS rider. Just let em go and meet at the top.

@brassmnky33 4 года назад

Lower engagement is magnified by lower gearing. Single speed doesn’t really have this problem because you don’t have any low gears.

Really enjoyed this, I've been riding only a singlespeed rigid bike for the last 15 years. Let's see more!

I've been riding single speeds exclusively for almost a decade now. It's the ultimate training setup, because you have to stand up all the time. My friends all use gears, and I still leave them behind uphills.

Recently converted my hardtail to a SS with a 34 oval in front and 20 in the back. Similar to 32/18. I'm hooked! Takeaways for me after a few months: 1. Improved pedal stroke, 2. Fitness increase in terms of times on segments (I mostly ride on my trainer in the garage due to having a 20 month old kiddo), 3. Power increase, 4. Technical riding has improved, 5. Fun factor and feeling like a kid riding bmx. I love your channel and hope you do more SS vids. Cheers and enjoy your weekend!

One day on a group road ride my rear derailer cable broke 15min in, I told everyone to just leave me and I would Single Speed it home after tying a knot in the cable and setting the derailer in the middle of the cassette. They left and in no time I had it going, I rolled back down the hill and thought, “I going to turn around and (try to) catch them”! I did catch them and realized it was actually possible(to ride SS road). Later, I was racing XC and wanted a “not so nice” beater bike\training tool. Enter a 2015 Salsa El Mariachi... bought new for $1050 in SS mode. Feel in Love! Took a couple years to become 100% SS but now... MTB SS, Gravel bike SS, Road(Track) bike SS. I haven’t owned a shifter or cassette for a few years and let me tell you it’s wonderful. Bonus is drivetrain cost and durability. I run Surly cogs($30), steel SRAM direct mount rings($15)and a SRAM SS chain($15-18) Last forever, never fail. Imagine your drivetrain lasting years and costing $60-70!

Please please keep doing more single speed riding. I have a dedicated SS and ride it at least once a week at my local trails!

Just converted my old hardtail a couple weeks ago. The addiction is strong. Totally agree, it makes old trails new again. Riding in showlow all weekend. Feel the burn. Running an 18 with a 34 oval. It's perfect.

It'll take you back to the ole childhood BMX bike days.

Yes!!! I’ve waiting see what you thought of single speed riding. Looks like it was a blast, I had the same reaction when I got my first single speed bike last November. Once you start trying and converting other bikes to single speed, you can really dial them in with bar length, rise and tire choice. I just put some Jumbo Jim’s on my SSPugsley and it revolutionized the ride make the bike more agile, quick, explosive from a dead stop and no self steering anymore. Can’t wait to see more single speed content and what bikes you are going to try single speed!! Great job Steve, best MTB youtuber out there!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍🚵‍♂️🚵‍♂️🚵‍♂️🚵‍♂️
