That's an easy one.
Have a quick read of the 115 pages of this thread and all will become clear.

Assuming the crankset will come with a 48t chainring then a 19t or 20t cog will be good for hilly areas.

If possible get a 47t* chainring and 17/18/19t cogs to experiment with
*prime numbers are the best

Building my first fixed gear at the moment. Will be buying a crankset and cog soon so I was wondering if anyone can help with ratios... I find it all quite hard to understand. I live in Sheffield so it's pretty hilly, what would be the best ratio to get up hills, down them (will be running a front break also), and to skid? Thanks
