I have just signed in on nsmb majorly because of your content especially on rigid singlespeed. We are about the same age it seems and have gone through all the rapid changes in mountainbikes since the early days when everything was rigid. So why would someone in our age who welcomed the invention of suspension and one-by drivetrains back then like the rain after a long draught go back to the unsuspended rattle in the woods? I get this question almost everytime I meet people on the trails. No one can understand. Including myself. I can only say that it got addictive since I started one year ago. It is a whole lot of fun despite the hurt ancles, hands and the sore back and thighes. It’s a whole new experience which I happen to enjoy for the most. And that is what it’s all about, right?
Happy rigid shredding from Austria!
