17 mile commute to work

[classic33]

Get a 93 tooth chainring & give it a go. See what you get, speedwise. If your serious about going singlespeed.

No thanks.

No thanks.

Why, give it a go then come back & say whether it can be done or not. Then I'd be more inclined to take you a bit more seriously. Until then, you're saying it can't be done because you can't do it.

Youre not au fait with newtons 3 laws of physics then.

looking forward to the explanation of choice of gear system produces more power

What are you all talking about, I saw this show yesterday where Guy Martin rode at 112 mph... So it would appear that all you need to ride at 40mph for 20 miles are REALLY big sideburns!! (and a truck to pace you the whole way... and a tow rope...)

LOL, Speedwise, on a singlespeed, probably about 0 mph as you slowly fall over trying to pull away from a standstill

The most important factor affecting the quality of the commute is clothing and gear . . . my balaclava changed my life with regard to the winter commute--obviously warm, but the wind noise faded away, allowing me to really enjoy my soundtrack in the winter.
