No, not in a UCI level event. Again, it's just too fast. not sure why this controversial. these folks ride through mud, sand, obstacles faster than most people can ride on pavement - and at the highest levels, the combination of pure speed and skills turns any disadvantage - like having only one gear - into huge time deficits in an hour long race. >Or are all the ss-ers of lower caliber? No. Not at all. It's just that multispeeds are simply faster. The fastest sscx'er I know of is Marko LaLonde. he won the SS championship, but finished 51st in the pro field with riders on geared bikes. he now rides a geared bike in order to compete in that field. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
