going back to SS from FG question
 

Hi all, since Jan i've been riding FG exclusively, and recently I feel like i'm getting pretty burnt out from riding. Been averaging about 80 miles a week, and I just feel like i'm starting to get tired, riding is becoming more work than fun.

Been thinking about just throwing a SS freewheel back on, but was wondering about gearing.

Fixed I've been riding 48-17, but my very first bike was 19t freewheel, and it was pretty comfortable, and I'm even thinking about going as high as a 20t in the rear.

I want something thats a bit more knee and hill friendly, something geared for social riding and city pacing.

ideas or suggestions for SS gearing? not really worried about speed since most of my riding is commuting/urban riding and I never really get up to speed that often.

I can't help you because you already know the answer. At least, your legs know, and you should listen to them.

In your current FG riding are you finding your gear on the high side (tough climbing) or low side (run out of rpm cruising flat ground at a good clip).

If you can't decide, you're like baby bear and it's just right as it is.

In any case, unless you know whether you want to go higher or lower, leave it where it is until you have a reason to change. the reason will also tell you the direction.
