  • I've been riding fixed for a long while and I got good technique and strength in my legs. I run a brake so I can ride fast and the aim of changing the chain set is to be able to sprint between lights and on straight stretches keeping a higher top speed and average. i got another bike for tricking and another for city use geared higher, plenty of skid patches when I need it!

    44/16 works out at around 74.3 gi, capable on the road and 48/16 at around 81gi

    Not even then, I know plenty of people include myself that could do it but, why?

    Who's ever going fast enough to justify it, unless either you're running lights or managing to accelerate to 35 odd in between each.

    ...unless you have the strength and technique to do so.
