I have a flip-flop hub on the rear, I tend to want a free wheel if it's really hilly, that's for going downhill not up, I can't spin my legs fast enough or be strong enough to brake with my legs if it gets too steep. <BR/><BR/>I'd be interested in seeing somebody ride fixed off road just to see how they cope with pedal position at obstacles and no freewheeling on descents.jumblyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04378829964378374016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663785665483842124.post-11928333027893173872008-10-17T13:55:00.000+01:002008-10-17T13:55:00.000+01:00Still you were averaging over 10mph on a mountain ...Still you were averaging over 10mph on a mountain bike, don't think I've ever done that!<BR/><BR/>I ride singlespeed off-road in the winter, well all year is winter, and I love it!
