• So, I've been running 46/17 for the last... year or so, first singlespeed, now fixed.
    I like it very much, it's reasonable uphill and I don't spin out on flats. I can't really skid on it though.
    But as winter is approaching I'd like something lighter and easier controllable on wet and slippery surfaces. So...
    44/17? or even 42/17?

  • 46/18 would give you approx 67GI (same as 48/19), which is the recommend ratio for all season.

    The other recommendation is to keep the ratio, but add a rear brakes to allow more control on poorer surface.
