Or you could just read the existing thread that is all about gear ratios.

To be honest, after several attempts at reading the post you quoted I still have no idea what that guy was talking about. The best way to determine the best gear ratio for your terrain is to go ride it. In my experience, 49x17 is good for speed on flats but pretty high for any serious hills.
