Hi guys,
Just got my first fixed gear, i haven't rode in ages so my fitness and muscle strength isn't that good.
So as Im just getting used to riding fixed (an interesting / fun sensation) what gear ratio would you advise? The bike currently has 48/15 on it and from what I've read this might be a bit high to start off with? I was thinking of either going 44/15 or 48/17?
Any opinions would be really appreciated, sorry if i come off a bit clueless Im new to this and don't know that much yet :)
