Gear inch/ratio question

I ride 54/14 in hilly Edinburgh. Harder to get up a hill but less spinning like a madman when I go back down them.

100+ gear inches around Edinburgh. Mash away my man, mash away.

Hoy Q&A in 2006

"If it's not a trade secret, what gears do you ride?"

"For the Kilometre it's virtually always 51 x 14, maybe a little lower for a big, old outdoor track, maybe a little higher at altitude. In the team sprint it's 51 x 14 and for the individual sprint 50 x 14."
