Gear Ratio Question...

I'm running 48/18 and sometimes it's too low (nice in a head-wind).

I'm thinking about putting a 16 or 17 tooth cog on the other side of the hub.

Any thoughts on which I should go with? Will going down to 16 be too much? I live in Boston.

Thanks.

It's all related to your strength and preference but my strategy would be to start with 17 and if it's still not enough, go to 16.
