29er Singlespeeds.
29er Singlespeeds are bikes with no gear shifting involved, it’s just pedal and go. Those who are into it, love the simplicity and reliability of the singlespeed 29" wheeled bike. With no gear shifting, the most unrelaiable and fragile components, the derailleurs, are eliminated.
29er Singlespeeds can really improve efficiency. A single-speed bicycle is generally cheaper, lighter, and mechanically simpler than its multi-geared equivalent.Without derailleur’s or other gearing systems, there are fewer parts on the bicycle that require maintenance making this type of cycle ideal for city commuting in all weather. The drivetrain efficiency of a single-speed can be greater than today's typical multi-geared bicycles.
A straight chain line, lack of chain drag from rear derailleur jockey pulleys, and lack of chain rings, ramps and pins all improve efficiency. As a single rear cog takes less space than the typical seven to ten cogs present on most multi-geared rear cassettes, rear wheels can be built with little or no dish, which is inherently stronger by virtue of the wider base in the triangle formed by the hub, spokes and rim.
