sorry if this was asked before (could't find anything).
So, I just got one bike, fixed gear. Been using it for some time, and love the feel of a single gear. But, I also got a freewheel wich came with the bike, and it got me thinking...
There is any loss of performance in ss comparing to fg? Specially in hill climbing? 'm asking with rides like 80, 90 km, with 1000m or more of ascension (what I usually do on the weekends) in mind. I suppose fg would be more efficient in climbing (to me, it seens easier on hard climbs because of the moving cranks, wich make me suppose one do a bit less force to overcome the dead spots on pedal movement), but it never hurts to ask to people with way more mileage than me
Using road shoes, if it changes anything.
so, can you guys feel a performance difference in the switch? I know I can just coast on the downhills and get a bit of refreshment for the next climb, so maybe I can climb fresher and overcome any advantages of FG?
thanks in advance
