Glad to see this post. I'm switching up my old crankset, currently 52/14. Needless to say its a beast to ride even in Chicago where there are sum total of three slight inclines within a 10 mile radius of my house. Thankfully I have a flip flop hub.

Most people are talking about hilly terrain. Ideas for perfectly flat territory? That fixed-gear calculator is great and helps me find equivalent ratios, but I need some help understanding what's appropriate for my flat midwestern city streets.

Should I go 48/17 like kogkrusher or keep the 14T cog and go 42/14? A difference between a 2.8 and 3.0 gear ration.

Thanks
