I really need to put a bigger gear on the SS - 48x18 just isn't cutting it on the flats. 53x17 should do fine.
I may change up my cog too, riding a 48x19 right now which gets me around pretty well and I can climb hills pretty easily but I may go with a 17 instead.
I ride a steamroller and I know they make a dingle cog which is a 17+19 in one, what a cool idea. You can just switch the chain when you want a different ratio.
