I'm on 42/16 at the moment because there's a fair few hills, but I want to go for a higher gearing because I'm spinning out and it's shit on the flats.
If I drop to 42/15 I'll only have 5 skid patches, is this too little for riding brakeless? I realise 8's not a lot either though.

Just stick with what you've got and learn to spin.
Hi, 42 x 16 fixed for me and its hilly here in Dorset ! Spin out at just over 40 kph, cruise at 30 kph and get up short 17% grades. I use front and rear brakes...my legs were made in 1963.
