gear ratio
hey guys totally new to fixed gear and have been searching the forum to get an explanation on gear ratio, but haven't had any luck. So i have a basic stupid question for you. What is gear ratio and how does it work, what is the difference between high and low gears. thanks

the lower your gear inches the easier it is to pedal. and buy a bunch of cheap cogs. find out what works bet for you.
