[QUOTE=OneTinSloth](as long as you're not runing like, 52/13, of course, then you could probably just build up enough speed to carry you up the hill

It's quite odd that you picked that ratio. I'm on my way to fixed right now, currently in my ss stage. I set up my road bike with a straight chanline and went on my way. After riding with my buddy, who's been riding ss for a while, asked me what gear I was running since I wasn't spinning it to quickly. I said I don't know and sat down to count teeth. Long story short, 52-13.
