16/48 Gearing....
I just picked up a fixed gear bike with this gear ratio 16/48. I was really expecting a higher topend speed, but not ever having a fixed gear bike maybe I shouldn't have. My bike is a 58cm with 700x23c wheels, I find that my consistent cruising speed is 20mph but flat out giving it all, I only top out around 28mph. What would you guys recommend for higher topspeeds, a 16/52 maybe? Thanks.
P.S. I only ride on a 16 mile winding, really nice paved scenic bike path. I have a few area's that I like to make high speed runs down. No highway riding or pro racing.
