Gearing

There is only one thing more scary than riding a fixed wheel, and that it to ride someone elses!
Traditionally a gear of 80" would have been the norm. That is not sensible for this part of the world so a 38 x 16 was chosen. Partly because that was the chainring size and partly because it was cheap. Even this is a bit high, thankfully I have been given a 17T sprocket which will lower the gearing from 51" to 49". Time for some more experimenting.
