I am sure this has been asked a thousand times, but how do you do it? Everytime I ride I try to pick just a couple of gears to utilize, but I find myself jamming through all of 'em in my middle ring for both off and on road, and the granny off road and the large ring on road.
Now I just moved to Marin County (Norcal) and couldn't imagine riding roads SS here, haven't seen enough off road to determine, but I did a pretty long climb at China Camp all in middle ring b/c of chain suck in my granny and it didn't seem too bad. Back in NY there is no way I could climb the majority of the small climbs without a granny.
Is it just that I am a skirt or do I just need to pick one gear and see if I can ride a trail like it?
I like the simplicity of SS, the maintenance free issue, and the idea of different rpm's for each speed. Plus I would have the damn chain suck issues I have been having.
