Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Few Fixie Questions.

1) Whats a good ratio for skidding? I have 48/15.

2) Does 1 tooth make a difference on your cog when riding? (15 to 16)

3) How long does a tire last if i were to use it every day and skid? (from home to school and sometimes masing)

4) What are good toe clips for mashing/skidding?
