It's on 52-15, same ratio I use on my other bike, I did put risers on and risers are indeed fun. Going to go for a ride

52-15
52/15?! Well, there's your problem; that's not a fun ratio at all! When I started riding fixed, I rode 48/17 and now I even put a 19T cog on for extra funsies (though the topspeed is terrible).
@Dakin:
Wide risers are the answer!
I still have to try those. They seem fun indeed, but I'm kinda worried about getting through small passages/cars/etc with them. Is this an issue you think?

Can you ride 25mph rather easy for let's say 1 minute?

That's bigger than my track gear.

Don't get me wrong, but unless you are really mashing it >25mph, the heavy gearing will make you meh.
