I think both courts are equally good, for different reasons. I struggled on the small heath court with a fixed gear though because the breaks were much faster and my gearing was max-ed out. When we came back to highgate I think some of the energy from the fast-paced games was transferred onto the smaller court, making the games really quick. I think if I was playing on the small heath courts at the tourney and the courts were divided into 2 small, one large, I'd change from fixed to free depending on the court.
Tech question: Has there ever been a hub produced where you can switch from fixed to free with a thumb shifter? They now have bmx hubs that you can roll forward and back on without pedalling...
