48:16 - That's what came with the bike and seems to work for me.
I started riding fixed about 4 months ago to free my mind of constant thoughts about which gear I should be in and because the bike's so simple, even I can maintain it.

I've just switched my Genesis Flyer frame for a Pearsons frame, running 48 x 16. Not sure if it's my imagination but I seem to be spinning out a lot quicker on the new frame, so I may need to make a change. Would I notice a difference running, say, a 49 x 16 to slow my cadence down a bit?
