What's your favourite gear ratio?

"Finished my first fixie at the weekend. Current ratio 52:16 with 170 cranks but a bit high for me. Thinking of getting an 18 or 19 rear cog instead. Sound about right to those in the know?"

"Good to go!"

As I'm sure you're aware if you've read this thread, determining the right gear ratio is very individual. That said, any gear ratio around 2.75 - 3.0 will suit most people running 700x23 tires or there about for most rides; 52/18 and/or 52/19 are both fine.
