Somebody new to mountain biking might appear confused when they find out that some folk decide to ride a bike with just one gear. When mud, dust and sand make there way onto your chain and in between the cogs in your cassette, they grid away at parts till the bike no longer shifts properly. Once enough damage has been done, there's no recourse but to head into your local shop and have the parts replaced.
This does not make you resistant to the ravages of dust and mud, but a single-speed drivetrain is far easier to wash than it's geared bro. Roots, rocks, logs and other obstacles can rip a rear derailleur from its hanger and leave you marooned 6 miles into a ride. No derailleurs and no shifters mean there's no upkeep of these finicky parts and no chance they're going to be wrecked in a crash. Switching from a geared mountain bike to a single-speed can save you the headaches of working with unbalanced drivetrains and a major amount of money over the period of a bike.
Most of all, riding a single-speed permits you to simplify your riding experience and reconnect with the pure delight in mountain biking.
