In your opinion, what are the best SS trails? I'm looking forward to sycamore. I guess Daley would be okay, and maybe Hodges. I live in Escondido, so whatever you can recommend I'm all ears...


I think anything you can climb on a 42 pound AM bike you can also climb on a singlespeed. That would be all trail you know I guess ;). It may take a few rides to clean everything, but as Canaan pointed out: you really have 3 speeds - use all of them.

Thanks everyone for you help and input. I pulled the trigger on the Dawes Bullseye: the copper 19"

I'm kinda nervous and excited. I've never ridden a 29er or single speed but I'm looking forward to the totally different challenge it presents (compared to my 42lbs AM bike).

:cheers:


So what's the verdict on the Dawes? I'm definitely intrigued by a SS 29er and this looks like a sick way to start. Did you end up putting a fork on it or keeping it rigid. My HT 26er is getting pretty much smoked, so I'm going to be in the market VERY soon for something new and at the price they show for the Dawes, it may be sooner than I think...haha

Thanks

^^^ Would also like to see the verdict, and how well you think the size bike you bought fits you.

Another ride I think you could add to the "good for SS" list is the Double-Double ride we did by Otay Lakes last night:

Sorry I didn't GPS track it but it's not hard to figure out.

edit: Ha! Thanks Jose.
