Thanks for the advise B. Again, I'm cheaping this first build out, mostly knock off parts. I figure if I love fixed riding as much as i'm led to believe I'll go name brand components on the next one i build. below is the chainring i bought...it's a 46t. my fixed and ss cog is 16t. i figure i'll ride that for a month or so and see how it goes. it's very flat here, and, if it matters, i plan on riding 10-15m a day. any thoughts?
