Because you suck!!!!!!!
Wonder if you are able to keep 95/100 rpms using 42x18 for an hour using a fix gear bike. If you can't do that is because you suck! (take it as a joke ok? I dont want to hurt fellings) and thats the reason because the guys drop you off the wheel in the flats. I have like two options, or your anaerobic condition suck or you are slow as a turtle. Just in case to make 40 km/h average u dont need to ride with 53x14, with 53x16 u can do it perfectly. Hope this can help.
thanks.
ps: Sorry for using the word sucks no hard fellings

You suck.
Can you maintain 95-100 rpm for an hour on a fixed gear bike with a 42/18 combo? If not, you suck (no offence) and that's why you get dropped. There are really only two explanations - you're slow or your anaerobic(??) conditioning is bad. By the way, if you want to ride 40 kph, you can do it with a 53/16, you don't need a 53/14.
I'm just sayin'.
Hope that cleared things up.
