Potentially stupid question.
I'm going to turn my fixed gear into a single speed for a few months. Having never ridden single speed before I'm wondering should I just run the same gearing? Or should it be spinnier?
Currently running 49x19
Same gearing is fine. If anything SS is more forgiving in terms of gearing choice as you can coast.
Be prepared for a weird sensation. I felt like I was about to fall off the bike a few times when I build a SS a few years ago.
