I hear that.
48x20, which is about 64 gear inches. I find this fine most of the time, like when my commute to work at peak traffic times becomes my bikes soul purpose.
Having a fixed\fixed hub, I can flip it to 48x16, which is about 81 gear inches, at any time. This is a lot of fun for speed brake-less, but my knees often hurt accordingly.
