This thread is BS. I have tried 48:18 and 48:19 and I still have zero skid patches.
It is BS. You don't skid in exactly the same place every time you skid unless you are some sort of robot. If you have a good tire that is built to resist skids, you get one skid patch (the full circumference) no matter what gear ratio you ride.
