Did you carry any chain links or chain repair of any kind when you did the Tour Divide? I switched to a belt drive and carry a spare belt in case of the belt breaking, but in deep mud, the belt drive does get messed up (I am sure a chain would too). I'd like to go back to a chain to compare the two, but just wonder how you would deal with a chain break in the middle of no where. A simple break you could just use a master link, but a break that wrecked a few links....?<br /><br />Congratulations on your amazing ride and your amazing time! I too love the simplicity of a single speed, but still need some thought and practice to feel comfortable heading out for a multi-day ride and feeling prepared....Tom De Vrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10091464354565503922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9492102.post-71962239960670297192016-07-22T21:40:51.919-06:002016-07-22T21:40:51.919-06:00Thanks for the outlook.

I plan to go back to singlespeeding very soon. I haven't ridden singlespeed much after completing an off road century in 9 hours back in 2012 and succumbing to hamstring tendonitis a few months later. I have ridden gears since then and feel like I am ready to go back to SS. Thanks for your great article that is inspiring me to pick it up again.Nick Janssenhttp://www.ridealongside.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9492102.post-83686811302988783172016-07-07T22:05:16.618-06:002016-07-07T22:05:16.618-06:00Congrats on a great ride Chris.

It's like rediscovering mountain biking all over again. The rigid carbon fork is actually pretty sweet and so far I am not missing suspension or multiple gears.
