Just to add to your interest- I rode fixed around Truro/ Falmouth area on 44/17, about 68 GI

I'm not a big fan of flipping a wheel to have the option of 2 x cogs at the back, that just feels like having a shit geared bike.
I think 68 ish means you're in that compromise sweet spot for hills, down hills and flat .
From the little research I've done, the hills lengthen over the ride and a lot of riders say ease a little ?
We have a good mix of long (10KM) and short sharp climbs(20% +) locally so plenty to practise on and it'll be in 2026.

Just been to the shop to check it out, spending Christmas making a parts wish list. To be used as a long distance Audax, simple, lightweight bike.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
