 I used to single speed and a couple years ago I got impulsive and switched my single speed bike over to a 1x10 set up. Then when I needed some money I sold off my single speed stuff online to fund other bike parts purchases. I miss single speed badly. So I am going back to single speed for the simplicity of it.  I have a wolf tooth single speed cog on its way. Luckily I didn’t sell off one of my Surly spacer kits so I still have it hanging on the wall.  My only issue is that the same bike that I go single tracking on is also the bike that I use when I go bike packing.  I was just curious how many of you single speed bike pack? I would like to try to prevent switching my bike back-and-forth from one to the other every time I do a different ride LOL.

Once you switch you won't want to go back, even for bikepacking. That's what I found anyways. And if you need another gear for a trip just dingle it.

 Yeah I should’ve never switched back to gears two years ago. I must have had a momentary lapse of reason LOL.

I've done the TD on a single speed. If I ever do it again, I'd def. do it with a single speed once more. Single speeding gets you friggin' strong!
