What's your favourite gear ratio?

i've been riding 48/18 (70ish) for nearly two years, and this week i switched to 48/16 (79ish). enjoying the novelty of blasting around the place and the extra speed, but it's much harder to stop and manoeuvre through traffic, and it prolly won't do my rollapaluza times any good.

just wanted to ride a gear that takes a bit of extra pushing for a while and see how i like it. will keep it for a few weeks until my body adjusts and then decide.

I'm on 48/16 on one of my bikes, I thought it was about 81 but I probably calculated it wrong. I like it.

My other one is 42/15 (75.6) and it's also fine. Bit nippier in traffic, but I have a long flat commute so all round I prefer the taller one.
