how many of you giuys run in the singlespeed side?
Ive been keeping up with the roadies on group rides on my rush hour
48x16 works good for me. Going down the big hills I spin out a bit but going up I pass alot of them, they are sitting there spinning the easiest gear they can. I get weird looks on my rush hour but I keep up with most of those guys.

hello
My bikes are either fixed or single speed. I run fixed/fixed on flip-flops.
If I need to coast I'll bring out my dedicated single speed road bike.

Too bad nobody, especially not people on the internet whom you've probably never met in person, care if you can keep up with "the roadies". Guess, what? You're a "roadie".

I sometimes throw it over onto the ss side if I'm to be climbing a lot of hills. Fixed can be as much of a workout going downhill as going up and when I'm headed to work at 6:30 am I am not in the mood.
OP, don't come on here talking about how you are faster than the roadies. It makes you sound like a recumbent rider and that's pretty dang sad.
And if you want to know what roadies think about other roadies bragging about smoking other roadies, do a search for R600 DuraAce.
