I'm not convinced by the singlespeed is bad for the knees argument. Most of the time when I'm pedalling on my SS I'm standing up, which results in far less lateral force on my knee than if I'm pedalling sitting down, as my legs are straighter. Although I suppose I'm pedalling harder with a slower kadence on a SS...
important to keep knees warm in the chilly months though |

I use 32:18
There are pros and cons for 16 and 18 rear sprockets but personally I think you have more to gain and less to lose with an 18.
You'll still spin out on the flat with a 16 but the 18 makes the short sharp climbs we tend to do on night rides a bit easier, especially in gloopy mud
I'll probably give 32:16 a try this spring when things dry out a little
I have a spare 16t sprocket you're welcome to try out for a few weeks  |

Well I can't make tomorrow either! Suppose I can leave you to recce the route 
Surely if you miss out all the boggy bits from the Sun Inn you'll have no trails left to ride

How is it I manage to miss every single Ilkley Moor ride?! I smell a conspiracy, although it might be the keema peas vindaloo I had last night...
Fancy repeating your ride in a week or two IceKing? |
