First true ride with the bike being SS and with the holy rollers.
The difference between how the bike performs now is really different now. The bike is quiet and has very minimal pedal feedback from the fork, pedals really easy now, the tire just hook up really well when turning and sprinting.

I am trying to figure out a good gear ratio for everything. Trails, DJs, urban riding and what not. What are you running? What do you recommend?

Why is this in MTB instead of SS/Fix?
Sorry, just seems like there are hardly ever threads moved TO that forum...

A blur on the road and yet climbs are still real grinders.
That's why I built up a flip-flop with a 40/17 on the opposite side so that I can make ok speed on-road and flip it over for the offroad gear.
Hopefully the freewheel won't strip the fixed threads offroad.
