Indeed, my favorite bike for technical mountain climbing in Colorado was a singlespeed.
As for the weak brakes on old Dutch bikes, you can flip on the headlight friction generator for some added stopping power :P.
- jarofgreen 5y ago> the headlight friction generator The dynamo? :-) I did wonder when it said about them in the video. I've heard old models were bad for this but again have never tried a modern one.
- blunte 5y agoHaha, yes. I forgot the name. I estimate it can be 10-20% extra pedal power required to overcome the extra friction when the dynamo is flipped into active mode. Sucks. Grocery stores sell the little led clip on lights, so most people done use the dynamos.
