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)

Gear ratio help?

Does anybody have objections to a 13X46 gear ratio on my fixed gear?

It's too bad we don't have A DEDICATED THREAD FOR DISCUSSING GEAR RATIOS THAT IS ALWAYS NEAR THE TOP OF THE FIRST PAGE OF THE FORUM.

That would be really helpful.
