Yep, the decision was made and there was no turning back. I could say: it was only matter of time my friends. But lets see how did I get here after riding single speed for more than 2 years.
Long story short: riding single speed was great fun and challenging in a way. Something that I really liked indeed...but the main issue was the speed. The bike wasn't fast enough. It was brutally fast uphill but the speed on flat and on descents was very slow. And that's not something I want right now.
What I need is speed. Speed that keeps me with the group during XC Maraton events. Speed that doesn't allow me to get dropped on a fast training spin with my mates.
The Niner got a 1x9 setup fitted last night. Massive thanks to my awesome training buddy József Király for sorting me out with his spare parts left over from previous bike builds. So, here I am, back on a geared bike again! Yeow, bring on the speed baby! :)
