Just wondering if anyone has toured fixed gear and could offer some advice for ideal ratio for touring, etc.
A single speed freewheel will make the decent, down the hills more pleasant.
I would never give up the recovery allowed by coasting down a hill,
after working hard to get to the pass.
Discover.... buy a bunch of sprockets and find
Your best ratio,
or on your multi-speed bike leave it in 1 ratio for a week , and see what it's like.
and get shoes you can walk in.
I hate mileage goal based touring, I just ride for a fair amount of time,
then stop wherever that puts me.
