I ride 46 and 16...its too high and I am in the process of having wheels built and getting a lower gear...I can skid it no problem and it is the gear that I have always ridden since I started riding fixed about a year and a couple months ago...but recently I have noticed that my right knee, though not painful, is a little stressed out...so I have decided not to do skids and skips until I get my new wheels...it was nice this morning as it made me ride at a really nice leisurely pace and my knees are definitely more chilled out right now...oops, gotta bounce! but yeah, get a lower gear and take care of those knees!
Peace
