Single speed Cannondale Capo problems

me Thank you for your advice btw... I wish I could help you guys in return but my bike knowledge is limited in comparison.

I'm a geek and so therfore find great pleasure in talking about BBs.

AlexS Not worth a new thread so I'll ask a gear question here: I've been using 48:18 for a few months and am thinking of going 49:18. Is anyone using 49:18 and finding it comfortable? Better still. anyone made that switch?

Doubt you'll notice much of a difference in gearing, but you will get lots more skid spots (18 instead of 3) which is good for the life of your tyres if you skid or skip.
