Okay, I've looked around the site a lot and it seems everyone is running a much higher gear than me! I just finished a SS cannondale and it is 39/14 or 16. I live in a hilly/mountainous area and can't go more than 100yards on flat ground anywhere, so i thought my ratio was fine to cruise around on. I'm not doing a time trial or anything haha... Anyway, my quads are gigantic and i don't want any more size, so I don't want to go to a higher gear, though i feel like a hipster with a little chainring and a medium sized cog. Is there a difference in the gear ratio in a SS and a fixed? i guess there would be because with a fixed you've got to be high enough to get down the backside of a hill and a SS you can have a lower gear and then coast down the back.... Any other suggested ratios for a very hilly area? BTW the climb to my house from my job is 1 mi uphill pretty steep and another two with rolling hills, so I need to be able to make it up that first part
