im looking to get a specialized p1 or a haro zero. im into dirt jumping but i love sit down wheelies. i can keep em goin for a while on geared mountain bikes but is it possible for single speed dirt jump mountain bikes?
there shouldn’t be any difference exept u won’t be able to change gears
yes thats what i learnt on as a kid.
The only thing single speed changes is the fact you won’t be able to shift up gears as you go faster, but you should be able to overcome that by feathering the brakes so you don’t go fast enough to need to shift.
You also may want to raise the seat a bit, I find it hard to sit down and pedal on some dirt jump bikes (but I’m 6′4″ so…).
