Long Story Short: Single Speed Simplicity

Some riders love having a full set of gears at the ready, while others like the hustle-more-and-think-less spirit of single speed bikes. We can appreciate both views, but we asked Matt Acker to break down the benefits of single speeds for the latest episode of Long Story Short. Looking for your own low-maintenance mind-clearing machine? We offer Timberjack and Stormchaser in single speed configurations, but any Salsa with Alternator dropouts can be converted to a single speed.
