Guys, really really appreciated all the responses to my gear inches question. I just checked and I am running 32/14 (not 32/16) with 700 x 42 mm (27.5 inches) tyres, so I am at about 63 gi where I am, and there is a 34 tooth chainring in my hand which will take me to 67 gi. I think that is high enough for me.
I can always put the 32 teeth chainring and an allen key in my bag for a "gear change" should I need it :-)
I guess the point is, I am happy to hear that plenty other people are there with single speed - but yeah, I would have been spinning crazily at 55 gi.
See you on the ride guys.
