He was trying to chat with me about the fixed gear bike and I could see that he was struggling to catch his breath, talk and keep up at the same time. Was fun. Ain't gonna lie.

Then I tried to keep up with four guys who were working real well together. Was not fun.

So yeah, the bike is currently at 48/16 but I might put a 15 tooth cog on the other side, if only for the MUP, to see how it feels. Just felt like saying that.
