Smoothest tires I’ve ever ridden on pavement or dirt. Very low noise. I have 
not ridden in rain/mud yet. Wheels are Rich-built using Velocity Dyad rims. 36 
front and rear.

Nice build - I dig the clean, black-and-silver look with the single-speed 
simplicity. How do you find the G-Ones on pavement?

Trust me, this bike will see few hills. It’s really built for the NCR trail 
that runs though MD and PA. Long shallow grades I can handle. Lock in a cadence 
and roll on. I really enjoy the simplicity, the silence and zen of a one gear 
bike. I’m in no hurry. The G-One Schwalbe’s are perfect for the dense-packed 
gravel trail.

Wow Bob! How do you only push up hill 40% of the time? Even with a geared bike, 
I went uphill half the time. Grin.

With abandon,
Patrick

Bike looks great! 

Glad you at least have the legs for a SS, no matter what chainring you use. 

I had one years ago, albeit a hardtail, but my legs were not made for it. 
Was pushing uphill 40% of the time. Not fun.

The guard is from Wolf Tooth. Made for single speeds, so might not work on 
a 1X set-up. (I had some rub on the two highest gears when I had it set up 
as a 1X7.) I don't see it on their website now - it was there last week.

RIng is a 36. The guard can take a 44, but I can't!
