how can a bike company cater to what everyone wants. so should companies start offering stock ratios at 44/19 for those skids? or should they assume that you are a track racer and offer the 52/14 ratio?
this comment + the one about kilo TTs not being at the 'drome....
1.) I still think that the 48x16 gearing is stupid hard for an entry level fixed bike no matter what brand it is, when it is going to be ridden on city streets by 98% of the people who buy it. Easy to get a new cog, sure, but still.
2.) I know that everybody on this forum completely loves the Kilo TT. It has a good price/quality ratio, if you keep in mind that it's a cheap bike with cheap parts. Quality? It's a relative concept, obviously. People should stop pretending that it's a real track bike when it's not, even if it has "
real track geometry", no fender/bottlebosses and comes with drop bars. The link above to the Track Racing sub forum only proves my point.
