Anyway, when I used to ride fixed in Cincinnati, I was on 42x15, which worked out great. I could climb anything and I had enough flat-line range to keep a good pace on Spring Grove or Eastern.
yeah.. at least you can make a pit stop at the comet for beer and burritos!

per a friends suggestion (and because i'm out of money due to the holidays, lol) i would like to just change out my rear cog for now. I was thinking an 18t cog giving me 48/18.

i'm still a newb so forgive the next question.. will my kilo chain require additional links? and is there a shop online where i can get a cog and lockring cheap? (might as well replace that too as i hear the stock one on the kilo is pretty craptastic).

thanks again for the input, guys.
