I don't have the numbers you are looking for. I have been riding up hills on fix gears a long, long time. I can promise you, lose that 10 pounds and those hills will be a lot more fun. And I promise you will go a lot faster when they are more fun. (I am assuming that 10 pounds is weight you don't need.) I weight roughly 155. A 7 pound drop for me, say from 159 to 152 would make riding the fix gear over a hill much more fun! In fact. it is the single best incentive to lose weight for me.
