Re: [RBW] New Riv Fixed/Single Speed in 2017???

Exactly. The closest to being killed while riding a bike was a rear flat on 
my geared disc Karate Monkey at 11 pm on a blowing, -9°F commute home.

Re: [RBW] New Riv Fixed/Single Speed in 2017???

[Deacon Patrick]

Yeah, but the climbing is far more delicious and silent SS than on my 
Hunqapillar that I only take the Hunqapillar when I know I'm pealing off on 
the singletrack. An early spring or late autumn ride means less traffic and 
the road is beautifully silent (but greater need of better clothing).

With abandon,
Patrick

Och! Yes, SS v. Fixed would make a BIG difference on the descent, either 
direction. I don't recommend fixed for Pikes Peak. The descent is a BLAST, 
until you catch up to a line of white-knuckled lowlanders in their cars. 
Though it is surprising how may can be passed just with gravity

Going up from Gunnison was hard, descending down the other side to Salida was 
even worse. Probably the toughest descent I’ve ever done—miles and miles of 
hanging onto the brakes to keep from going too fast (and keeping my cadence at 
a safe level). 

Pikes Peak looks fun. I hope to try that sometime.

Re: [RBW] New Riv Fixed/Single Speed in 2017???

[Deacon Patrick]

Here's my furtherest ride up Pikes Peak (I did two rides, never made the 
top). Average grade of 8-9%, regular boutes of 10%, and one wee hair pin 
turn with stunning headwinds above tree line at 15%. I used my bail out 
rear of 22t. Grin. After doing this, everything is sane. 



Monarch Pass is brutal for it length of climb and the volume of high speed 
traffic including high % of RV's, tourists, and semi trucks. Well done, 
Eric! My brain has blown up just trying to ride the Monarch Crest trail 
AWAY from the top of Monarch crest, because of the traffic noise. My poor 
family drove us 2 hours just for me to get messed up with all my 
bikepacking gear, turn around and go home. Talk about disappointed 
daughters who didn't get to go bikepacking. That is a busy corridor!
