freewheel tooth question.

Really thinking about buying a nice white industries freewheel, but kind of undecided on tooth count.

I currently have a 19t, and i like it, but i bought it over a year ago, and am much stronger and faster now. ( I mostly ride fixed, but wanted a nice freewheel for when i'm being lazy and for races as I'm a little faster on a FW than FG )

FG i typically ride either a 17 or 18, but thats generally on sub 40 mile rides, 40+ i tend to go FW as I'm generally faster since I can catch my breath a little and zip down hills.

It climbs like a goat, but I can still go pretty fast by spinning out, coasting, but the 18t will give me a slightly smoother cadence at the expense of some hill climbing effort.

But kinda thinking of going to an 18t since i'm quite a bit faster and stronger than I used to be.


Stick with what I know? or try something new?
