Im just starting out on the fixed gear malarkey after many years on various geared bikes. Went for the 16/46 combo after riding this config on my old bike - I thought it was a good compromise but after a but more research it seems that spinning is the preferred momentum as opposed to a bit more resistance on the flat. Is this ratio too high? I haven't hit any decent sized hills yet either so I might have to go 17/46..
