Steep descents are the worst bit about riding fixed if you ask me, but it can be fun seeing how high you can get your leg RPM - some can do over 200!!That makes good sense and I'll keep it at the front of my mind. Would you say it still holds when it comes to longer/steeper climbs and descents outside of London or would being able to freewheel down be an advantage?
In my case you'll find the freewheel has rusted up due to lack of useonce you've tried fixed you won't be bothered about using the SS side again.
Yep, 700c wheels. I've been running a freewheel with 42x17 which has been grand. I'm wondering whether I wouldn't be better off sticking with that ratio? I'm a bit new to all this1772401 said:With a conventional 700c roadwheel with 23mm tyres? Yes that would come out at 73.6" which is a workable gear if it is not too hilly and you are reasonably strong.
