What gear ratios are you running?.....

How does that work without a freewheel?

Ah yeah, forgot we were on Fixies

This is the fixie forum where men are men and cassettes are are for wimps

42 x 17 fixed

48x16 fixed on my lovely Boardman. I can happiliy do a 200k Audax with that setup

52/36 chainrings and 11-28 cassette. Perfect here in Finland but on Zwift need adjust trainer difficulty few times.

I had a 10 speed 11-25 on my road bike, but the old legs were having trouble on hills , so after a consideration I got a SRAM 11-36 ,
But to get it running smoothly I had to change the Ultegra rear derailleur to a longer caged 105 and fit a wolfs tooth gizmo and I had to play around with the chain length , works a treat now and no problem on the hills I was trying to avoid ,

48 x 18 atm. I was running 48 x 16 a while ago but just now it would be too much. Especially on hills.

Lower than most, 46 x 20.

Low 60s (inches). Sensible gearing for fixed. I usually ride somewhere between 61" and 64". Not sure why my current set up is a bit higher?

When I rode the bike home from the shop I knew 16 was too tall. When I still had hair on the top of my head it would have been a bit low . . .

42\16 so about 69 gear inches. Just about spot on. Doing my first 100 mile sportive in June on it, so will be interesting to see how my legs fair as I get later into the ride.

I do like the 70ish gear inch area, especially in the winter with 4 of 7 days windy. Mine is 48/18 which works out to 71.2 gi. Good for a little climbing, too.

I am running 84" on a 44/14. It is on my commuter which I also use for some solo rides. I think I should probably try a something like a 75" as although I feel I am above my comfortable cadence on the downhill journey home, the way up the hill is certainly a bit of a grind. I might buy a few different sized sprockets to experiment, after all they cost buttons

 

[Gravity Aided]

I might buy a few sprockets just for the varying conditions. Been freewheeled with the foot problems, but still an inexpensive solution.
