I've love to go on a group ride with you guys on these bikes.
@
Scottybigs, that gear looks pretty tall. What size ring and sprocket is that?

Fixed group rides are the exact reason for such a steep gear ratio - I'm running 50x16. When I moved to Toronto I started riding with the @
allfixedgear crew (on Instagram), and had to drop 3 teeth in the back just to keep up. For Nova Scotia, 19 in the back was perfect because of all the hills, but Toronto is sooooo flat. On 60-80km rides, the elevation is minimal.
My legs have adapted, and I will say that the increase in top speed has been fun.
