Never thought I'd keep it but I'm really enjoying the stock ratio my fuji came with.
Yes, it's an out of saddle moment when pulling away from the lights at anything other than a glacial pace, but the mid to high speed acceleration is great.
I especially enjoy the speed at which the pedals seem to get lighter, and you just keep increasing leg speed rather than power (seemingly).
I've never been a great skidder, but can skid the gear if I move my weight forwards.
I still use the front brake a lot however.
