been riding 45/17 with 32c for commute and 55/16 with 25c velo/training.
I'm redesigning my fixey fleet to having only 1 bike, with a fixed/fixed rear, and been thinking of combos. One for the street/commuting, one for just general speeding, velo, crits maybe, whatever. 25c tyres.
46/16or13, 49/17or14, 55/19or16 is what I've been thinking of. I prefer the commute to be a bit easier and the speedy gear to be a bit pushier (I squat), so prefer the 46/16or13.
Was just wondering, do most of the standard fixeh/track dropouts allow for a 4t difference in the cog without changing the chain? I quite like to spin on commute so even considering 46/17 as an option.
