Fair enough.
I don't put in huge miles with my FG, maybe <50mi/month, and rarely ride it for >2 hrs at a time. Can't say I'm "used" to descending on a FG the same way I'm used to doing anything on a geared bike.
I wonder what [MENTION=4131]Dannihilator[/MENTION] thinks about ascending v descending fixed.
