Hi,
I am currently on 48x16 which i find v. difficult to stop. Some people have recommend me to change to 48x18, which seems to be a very good ratio to ride in London. I understand that ratio would only leave me with 3 skid points so I am also considering 48x19. however 48x19 (2.52x) seems to be a lot lighter than (2.66x) Is anyone using 48x19 and how are you finding it?
Thanks for your reply.
