What's the fastest you've gone?
...On your fixed gear?
Just curious to know what kind of speeds people are hitting... |
~42km/h riding 48/18, was certainily starting to spin out
|
38mph during a race.
|
Cruise speed - 32 km/h ~ 20 mph
Flat - 48 km/h ~ 30 mph (for a few seconds anyway :)) Downhill - 56 km/h ~ 35 mph I'm riding 42/15 with 700x23 Cheers |
Normal cruise speed in flat: 33km/h (20,6MPH)
Max speed in flat: 40km/h (25MPH) Extreme suicidal sprint máx speed in flat: 46km/h (28,75MPH) Normal Downhill: 50km/h (31,25MPH) (is my limit comfy spin) 46/20 with 650x45B (60,5 gear inches). I love spin. |
There are a few hills in Northern Michigan that are pretty nice. I am heading up there this week to ride the DALMAC. Last year I got 202 rpm (on my Garmin) using a 42x16 with 172.5mm. I think that is around 40 mph. Thats pretty mental and I can't take that for long.
Around Grand Rapids there are a few hills I regularly hit 180 rpms on. I don't even know what I can get in a flat sprint any more... |
45mph on a longboard.
Truth. |
32 is the fastest documented speed,since i only run a computer when im riding on rollers in the winter. But iv been on a coupel bad ass hills where im sure iv toped that by a little...

Fastest with a downhill aid: 36.6mph (58.8 km/h)
My regular cruising speed range is 17-22, ordinarily keeping around 20mph. Fastest I've achieved on the flat is 31.1mph (50km/h ish I think) I run 46/17 on 700x23s. anything over 30mph starts to become pretty uncomfortable after a short while. |
32 mph. I could probably do faster with high gearing on the track, but 32 is my in-town limit.
|
52kph sprinting, 40kph sustained (for up to an hour).
|
Typical flat cruising speed 19-23 mph
Max speed (going downhill) according to my cyclocomputer is 34.2 mph with 46/18 gearing. |
I have literally no idea.
Oh, if only I had an idea, I could quit this job and make it big on my own terms... |
Between 500-600 mph. But that was on a plane.
|
I did 88mph the day after tomorrow
|
34 mph riding 48/17.
fastest on my road bike was 45 i think. |
42mph with a 46/16, or ~190rpm. it wasn't pretty, but i stayed up.
|
there are some pretty good speeds in here...
I hit 35 yesterday downhill, but yeah I think the fastest I hit on flat was 28. |
32.5 mph on a flat. 42x16. Legs spinning like an egg beater.
|
A guy in a car last night randomly yelled out that I was going almost 35mph.
|
~29 next to my buddy on his motorcycle on flat ground 44x17
I think we broke 30 while I was drafting him and he kept slowly speeding up but can't remember :P |
i was cruisin at 20~ mph tonight with 44/16 free. i actually suprised my self because any riding i've done before that has been putting around campus at ~8 mph. i also got a set of $10 flip/chops for my effort. :)
|
I did about 43mph on my fixie. 46x16. I know, sounds insane right? You should have seen me though. I was going down this big hill and my feet were straight out in front of me and the expression on my face was that of "I'm about to die a painful death" with my poor little front brake smoking like there was no tomorrow.
true story. |
