Road fixed / fixed road

Has he done a 2 weeks course at TBA?

What ratios are folk running? When i was a wannabe 15 years agp or so , i ran huge gears even dabbling with 49/14 but after joining a road club with some old boy who fondly remembered their fixed days, I'm down to a near perfect 42/19.

Mixture of rolling countryside and hilly urban suits me fine

i've been running 48/15 for a few years now, all be it on relatively flat London roads mainly, (caveat-I can't really spin) but I'm moving back down to 46/16 or even 44/16 (as I have a spare 44 chainring), as 48/15 is really getting too much, and I'm convinced I'm slower overall as a result, even if my top end speed is more.

I am on 44/15-16 and ride pretty hilly rides.
I feel pretty comfy doing 25-35kmph

48/18 on the Bob Jackson, 47/17 on the Feather.

47-22, mostly urban and rolling lanes

i kept putting a bigger cog at the back progressively till they stopped making bigger ones, luckily it's working quite well. i would describe as a "you'll get there when you get there, but you'll get there, whatever is there" gear

47/17 on the Feather

Bit high for Big Yellow Storage

50x16 for regents park laps, sort of keeping up with the roadies. dropping to 49x16 or 16 and grinding on more mixed terrain

Your jokes are even lamer than your CV that I rejected.

48-19 for the hills of South Wales

I'm down to a near perfect 42/19.

I’m on 46:19 and I thought I was a spinner!

Was running 44:19 when I had two bikes and that one was on big 43mm tyres and had another bike on 28s with 48:19 but now I’m on 32/35mm tyres and the 46t up front feels just right.

The new Flyer is good, make more sense than the heavier Day One, and the original Flyer now more of a niche (abet great bike).

im on 4915 but really only ride round regents on it

39/13 roughly 79"

47x18

69 gear inches (on 28mm tyres).

... which is not really low enough for today’s snow & ice.

42:17 and 44:18.

Yes tyres make a difference too....I'm on 38c

46/18 and 35C tyres on the tooling about bike gives about 70"
The other qualifying bike (464) currently has 48/16 for about 80", but that needs changing as it's a bit soft for racing even with 165mm cranks.

48x17 on the Mercian which will be changing in the summer as I could barely get it up Mott St. Should be good for Regents though.
50x19 on the Big Block which is nicer for every day, might bring that down a bit though

49x18 has worked really well for me. Enough to keep a good pace at Regents and also fun when commuting and wandering about. Wish I had a bit more top end speed and stuff for sprinting but it's a nice EAI cog and I can't be asked buying a new one.
I occasionally have on 49x15 for the track and random rides when I can't be asked to switch it over. When on the track I feel like a 14 might be better but idk.

can't be asked

Arsed

i wont have any of that foul language :/ this is a family-inclusive forum
