Well I'm pretty sure I will be going with a single speed/freewheel set up for winter. My Surly is currently at
44/16 which is pretty good for me as far as hills go. I'm in Minneapolis and there are only a couple hills I can't climb and a few in St. Paul that I just try to avoid. But I will be gearing it down like 38/16 to compensate for the winter conditions. I still pretty new to riding fixed so I think I'll wait til spring to get that one out on the streets.
