Our Single-Speed Bikes

We are both riding On One In-Bred single-speed mountain-bikes. www.on-one.co.uk

We are running gear ratio 32:16 (for those of you nerdy enough to care), which will be workable enough both on the flat and the hills, albeit on the flat we will have a pretty low terminal velocity.

There will be a fair bit of throwing the bike over the shoulder on the trip, so we will be trying to minimise any unnecessary weight.

We will also be fitting the bikes with foam pipe-cladding between the seat-tube and the top-tube. It's not pretty, but it makes a HECK of a difference to your shoulder comfort over time.

We are fitting slick tyres, as most of the route is on road, and also mud-guards, for our comfort, should the rain come!
