I ment 53-18, not 53-16..... either way it was way to hard. It was fine on the flats.... but every slight hill royally sucked. And of course my dumb self decided to make its maiden voyage a 32 mile run. I think i'm gonna try out the 20T gear on my current 6 speed setup with my 53 front chainring and see how that does for gearing and if it works out I'll buy a 20T single speed freewheel and go from there.

Can't I just adjust/add spacers on the axel to move the hub to where I need it on the axel to line it up? And if I do that would I need to adjust my spokes? If so how do you know the optimal spoke length/dish angle for the new hub placement?
