I don't know much about gear inches, but I just spent a week commuting on a SS with (I think) 70 gear inches (if Sixty Fiver reads this thread, he can confirm). Top speed was acceptable, but not spectacular. Hills were a bit of a challenge - I certainly wasn't laughing at them, and I'm a half-decent climber (for a cycle-commuter).
