I'm tinkering with an old bike at the moment to go single speed with.
It's got a 50t chainring.
Thinking of going for an 18t sprocket.
Crank is 165mm
wheels are 700c
Gives me a gear inch measurement of 74.
Does that sound a bit high for ss?
It'll be used to ride flat only, with the odd mild incline.
I'm a bit new to the ratio game, so any advice would be welcome.
My other bike is running 38x 14
