I'm running 45/14 on my fixed gear. The gear is great but the chain makes a gentle click every time it gets to a tooth on the sprocket. Is this from such a small cog? What difference is there between running the same gear ratio with smaller sprocket compared to having a larger chainring?

I'm just going to take a guess that it's your chainline which is off rather than it having to do with your sprocket and chainring.

Make sure it's lubed up good too! :)

Smaller the rear sprocket the greater the wear rate. Check that too if you've been running it for a while.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
