  • If someone were to SS then do you think 39x20 would be spinny enough?

    Hmm maybe I could break it up into two days and do it fixed?

    Depends how much you're willing to push. Some of those hills are steep and there's rarely any flat to get big gears going, so it's either going uphill slowly or holding on coasting downhill. Fixed would be seriously hard on the knees given all the gates at the bottom of the hills.

    Given a choice I'd go lower. I've ridden a single speed in those parts and been quite happy clearing the majority of the hills on 36x21.
