Looking at building a fixed for a commuter/hack whilst at uni - I have been off the bike for a year with maltracking kneecaps so how will fixed downhill cause certain death? If so I will look at singlespeed.
I plan to make the gearing really low to begin with to make the hills easier on the knees, but once the knees are back to full strength, grinding up hills isn't a massive biggy (I hope!).
Also, what suggestions are there for gearing? I guess something that lets me cruise at around 14mph would be ok - I know it is slow but that gear should be alright on the inclines.
Cheers in advance
