After much consideration....
After much consideration i have decided to go fixed! Ive been riding a 16T freewheel for about a year and a half, and i think that im finally ready for the world of fixed riding.
My only concern is that the 16T freewheel is a little to much to where i live. There are a good amout of hill (big ones at that) and i think that a smaller fixed gear would be best, mabey a 14T or 15T. Any suggestions? |
If I am understanding you correctly, you are gonna want a 17t or 18t for lower gearing.

Well, for the cog you will actually want a bigger number to teeth. The more teeth, the easier it is to pedal really.
Fixed gear riding is different, but I find it to be very fun. You'll enjoy it! |
You're doing it wrong; you want a BIGGER cog for hills......
You would want around a 17 to 19.... or even a 21 |
Just so you guys know, there is a character called an ellipsis. It's not just a bahzillion periods thrown together. It also indicates that something has been omitted, not that you are…pausing. The more you know.

S%&t just got real.

in programming, it means code will continue on the next line.

In three dot journalism as popularized by the late Herb Caen, ... means a pause.
Ellipsis (plural ellipses; from the Greek: ἔλλειψις, élleipsis, "omission") is a mark or series of marks that usually indicate an intentional omission of a word in the original text. An ellipsis can also be used to indicate a pause in speech, an unfinished thought, or, at the end of a sentence, a trailing off into silence (aposiopesis) (apostrophe and elipsis mixed). When placed at the end of a sentence, the ellepsis can also inspire a feeling of melancholy longing. The ellipsis calls for a slight pause in speech. The most common form of an ellipsis is a row of three periods or full stops (...) or pre-composed triple-dot glyph (…). The usage of the em dash (—) can overlap the usage of ellipsis. The triple-dot punctuation mark is also called a suspension point, points of ellipsis, periods of ellipsis, or colloquially, dot-dot-dot. |

In case of David Caruso, ellipses definitely mean...
a pause before the punchline! http://cdn-www.cracked.com/articleim.../Brandon56.jpg |
And if you don't know what I mean...
I shall better indulge you: |
In theory getting up the hill will be just as easy on a singlespeed as on a fixed gear, so why change your gearing if it's already fine? If you go with a lower gearing going downhill is only going to get more annoying. The lower your gearing the faster your legs will have to spin on the way down.
