I need to pick a gear ratio for the condor. The ratio on my current ( geared) bike that i seem happiest with is 50:17.
I've ridden 48:18 when i've tried out other SS/fixed bikes, and that also seemed fine.
any advice? is 50 :17 a good thing to try, or is there a reason why most people have 48 or lower on the front?
