Another inexperienced question...
Can someone explain what the link is between high gear ratios and bad knees? Coming from a geared road bike there is a lot of talk about knee pain but it is usually resolved by a correctly set up bike or an expensive bike fit. There is never any mention of the pain stemming from a high gear ratio.
Would a correctly set up bike not resolve the issue of knee pain on single speeds/fixies?
