There's some crazy speeds being clocked up there peeps. Like a few others I'm claiming a more modest 42 mph on my geared hybred down hill, (fast enough to brownen my pants -but that could have been the corner at the bottom of the hill I didn't know I could make). Could get up to 30-32mph (briefly) on the flat with a tail wind. There's no way I reach those speeds on the fixed but no pooter to tell me either way.
Currently pushing 42:16 and got some massive 35c tyres (hangover from the Tweed Run), I'm so slow but never felt so comfortable.
