Why Single-speed Mountain Bikes are Crazy Fun - Build & Ride

Today, we take my tired old hardtail mountain bike and turn it into a unique and fun shredding machine! Step one, switch out the 140mm suspension fork for a 150mm, and then take off all the gears. Yep, this video is for all of you single speeders out there. I've been to the dark side before, and I ain't going back. This bike is staying as a single speed for skatepark, street riding, trail shredding, and hiking—'cause this thing can't climb worth a sh*t!!!

Buy vomit bags if you plan on climbing

For those of you asking, my gear ratio is 32/16. This is no good for climbing, but I need it for sprinting. With a single speed you need to choose and commit!

Slime Tubeless Sealant https://shop.slime.com/collections/tubeless-bicycle-tire-sealant

People ask me about that Slime sealant, since it looks just like the stuff in the auto parts store. It's not! You can only get that formula from a bike shop or online. https://shop.slime.com/collections/tube-and-tubeless-sealants/products/tubeless-bicycle-sealant-16-oz?variant=45264579656
