but back to the other questions. do people gear up or down. i have a suze hub fixed/fixed/ i run 46/16 and it's fine. i get up hills, up bridges. but lately, i've been getting way to tired b/c im carrying so much weight in my bookbag and my heavy ass winter jacket. so i wanted to put another cog on there. what size would work with a 46 chainring and would allow me to go up hills much easier.
as for trackstanding. u need to watch somebody do it. i was practicing for 4 months and it was not happening. then i saw some cat do it and i understood how i was supposed to stand and what not. now i do it all the time.
