its debatable but i reckon ss is faster on a commute. i live in an area with long hills and i ride 52-17. i can spin up to a point where i outgear and then tuck into a really aero position to hit ridiculous speeds. i dont think you could go as fast as this on a FG, as well as a Fg having to have a slightly more relaxed ratio due to have to pedel all of the time.
that said, FG is more fun to ride.
