While a 45/18=2.8 gear ratio will most likely suit most riders/rides, getting it just right is not a "political" decision. Ideally you want an array of cogs and chain rings to choose from, which of course is rather expensive. Some bike shops however, will have a few spares, thus allowing you to try out various combos before you buy.
