What's your favourite gear ratio?

Personally I prefer a certain number x a smaller number.

Personally, I prefer a number/another number. It's division, not multiplication, you dolts.

I prefer a motor.

Depends. Usually 48/17 (76 gear inches) because it's pretty good for speed and also pretty good for high cadence riding. I sometimes switch to 48/18 (72 gear inches) for an even higher cadence.

I'm well aware its division but the convention everywhere I look is to write it using "x". Ie 52x16.

54.6 gear inches for sscx in muddy waters (32/16).

Riding fixed again after a few months ss. It's made me go weak! I might need to gear down! 46/15 is just about ok.

Where do you ride?

just got 48 x 19 and it seems i have found the magic gear

NW and central.

Same as me, maybe grab a 16 and 17t to experiment with.

I find 45x17 to be a good commuting gear for me.

"I find 45x17 to be perfect for mad skidzz."

Damn fixie skidders.

NW and central.

Stay strong dude! I'm kinda scared of getting back on a bike now..been off for a few weeks...

Yeah i'm gonna experiment with everything now that I have a seta :) Trying different ratios tomorrow. I'll see what feels good.

I'm running 48/18 on my Langster. Really like it. Seems like a good balance for climbing and descending:

But not skidding.

Tyres are too expensive these days to skid.

Especially when you don't have many skid patches...

Shit a fixie skidder would never say >>>

started taking a slightly hillier route home and i am falling out of love with my 48*15 may have to flip it to the 48*17

46/16 The hills stay Ok in this

53x18. I can set a good pace and still stay seated up hills.

Ironically there is no such thing as the perfect gear ratio when riding fixed... you're always in the wrong gear.

Not true - some days you're always in the right gear.

We all get that feeling once in a while I sure... What it really means is you geared too high or too low.
