Are your fixed cranks shorter than your road ones? It's easier to make smaller cirlces.
Yeah, by 7.5mm. I don't think it makes a difference. More likely laziness and letting my peddling go sloppy. Actually been forcing myself to ride the roadie, even on commutes and been spinning away in the 39t upfront. Keep doing wheelies away from the lights. Quite fun and it's definitely feeling smoother and easier to sustain a high cadence with a freewheel.

May actually do that, 50/38 does sound good. It's weird, I spin much better fixed than on the roadie. I guess momentum helps smooth the pedal stroke when fixed. On the road bike I feel better when pushing a bigger gear. Probably just need more time to sort my circles out.
