I recently changed the ratio on my bianchi pista from the stock 48-16 to a 48-13. Its a nice stroke on the ego to push a pretty monster gear. But then again, its reasonbly flat here in central illinois, and a "hill" is about 50 feet.

Just outta curiousity, what kinda ratios your running, forget all the fancy calcs...teeth is all i'm curious about.

Also I'm thinking about a 18t for when i go back to school in southern illinois for the hill climbing (real hills there) should I get a freewheel for decents or just unclip the eggbeaters and go it comando *i havn't had any trouble re entering my pedals and i have a frnt brake
any advice is welcome
