After four months of 48:19 (66) I switched to 48:18 (70). I was finding the downhills way too spinny. I've been cured of that, but the uphills are that much more challenging. Flats have way more zip on 70in! This is for my London commute (9 miles each way).

48 x 14 for a flat commute and pootling around cheshire. Don't take it out in the peak district for obvious reasons.

Back in the '50's when I lived in N.London I used to ride as near to 72" as I could get (can't rember the details).This suited me well,and meant I was ready for 'Medium Gear' events in the Spring.I seem to remember going up to 89" for flattish 25's later in year.
