I've never even ridden there.

1st thought was single speed (26") but I hear there are granny gear and flat sections.

Then u wondered about 29er but the wheels and tyres on the 26er are a bit lighter...

Any thoughts/experiences? I'm taking the train to it the night before so can only take one, and not even more ride it!

Are you still drunk Al?

Still time to change the last sentence to make it a proper one.. 😆

Anyway, you can't ride 26" Wheels anymore, everyone knows you'll die/not manage the square edge hits/ be able to Climb like a homesick Angel..

Surely you'll need an Enduro Gnarpoon™?

I rode a SS 29er HT last year and did alright solo. The very top was a bit too much by the last couple of laps, but otherwise it was great.

If it's more or less the same circuit as used in the Worlds 24 hour solos a couple of years back, it definitely can be ridden on a singlespeed. I was on a rigid Scandal.

Single speed and man up is the only option
