HI
Im going to cannock this weekend and was wondering can it be done on a single speed???
Errr..
I'd have thought Cannock was IDEAL for a singlespeed.. 😉
Yes. Eeeasy, even I've done it on a SS and I'm bloody useless.
Was it not rumored to be the venue for SSUK 2014 ?
Easily.
OMG!!! YOU'D HAVE TO BE TOTALLY CRAZY!!??!!?
Oh yes, Cannock's very singlespeedy.
Yet to find anywhere that isn't singlespeedabubble
DON'T FORGET TO BUY A PERMIT!???????????????????????????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111eleventybillion
Why ? I couldn't think of anything worse than continously having to peddle a a bike round some where ?
It's surely not enjoyable ?
@ discoduck- think you may be thinking of fixed wheel? Cannock on a fixed is a whole different experience!
ssuk 14 at cannock? Perfect!!
Crazy talk!!!! YOU WILL DIE
They ban ss in cannock
Ah, yes sorry ! Was thinking of our pool bike that we had in London, that was a fixie, bloody nightmare to ride !
Every time I see a Single speed I think about my old commute on that orrid thing, I just thought that all SS bikes had to be peddled all the time, 😳
Slightly embarrassed by that !
That first hill with switchbacks over the road up the monkey will be fun, likewise kitbag hill. Enjoy!!
Perfect for ss.
Like jekkyl said that first switchback climb on the monkey will be quite loose in this weather, but as long as you gurn plenty you'll get up it.
Enjoy
@ discoduck I've actually tried fixed off road. A lot of fun when you're on your own as it's a different challenge but personally prefer SS when riding in groups as it means I can actually keep up down hills!
SS is ideal for Cannock. Me & most of my riding buddies ride it SS.
no dabbing or you're a girl, I'm up there tonight, probs ending in the dark around 11. This day at work will now pass very quickly. plzzz

It's not a problem on a 29er single speed running 33x20 gearing. Have fun, and enjoy chuckling at those stuck in the past on 26" wheels and gears 😉
NEVER BEEN SO NO IDEA. SORRY!!!!
No
LAST TIME I WAS THERE, ON MY GEARED BIKE (IT WAS MY ONLY BIKE AT THE TIME) THERE WAS A GUY ON A BLUE SS SPOT BRAND. HE WAS GOING VERY FAST INDEED.
EDIT:!!!!!
NO ITS TOO FLAT!!!!!!!!!!
Anything is doable on a singlespeed if you have the ego for it,
watch out for the Wallabies
Easy, go fixed for an added sense of achievement 🙂
Amazingly, of all the mountain bike races I've ever won, half of them were at Cannock on a Singlespeed.
I ENJOY CANNOCK ON A SINGLESPEED. IT'S PRETTY MUCH PERFECT TERRAIN FOR IT. LOLZ.

CANNOCK...ON A SINGLESPEED...
yOU WILL NEED AT LEAST 30 GEARS 170MM TRAVEL AND A BELL TO RIDE CANNOCK

Indeed. They're still smarting about that series loss. Could be a little tetchy. Especially their captain.
I HAVE NOTHING TO ADD, I JUST LIKE SHOUTING!
