That is what I geared my single speed at. There's a darn good reason I feel I got my a** handed to me every time I ride it. I picked that combination by being informed by the gears most frequently used on my other bikes.
It all averages out. If I don't have it for the flats or slight downs, I feel I'm missing something. But, oh man! Do I start burning matches for anything steeper than 6%!
