This is the end-all answer for this thread. SSFG community around here has some really awesome and super helpful people.
It's not a plan, it's a reality, for me, at least. Maybe i'm just a beast though
And i'm not saying all people, and I'm dealing with a urban environment requiring a lot of stop and go action and a lot of hills. All that gear changing really slows people down.
Even with a super high ratio, which most BMX bikes can't really handle in terms of clearance on the cog, The wheels only being 20" makes the ride so completely inefficient as compared to something much bigger like a 700c wheel with road tires.
