before i even had the frameset in hand, i bought a fixed/free flipflop wheelset that came with a now-extinct white industries 16/19 double freewheel installed. so that was my starting point for the drivetrain. i decided to try a 42t crank after approximating that gear on my geared bikes, and reading about what ratio other singlespeed riders like. i enjoyed riding the 42x16 free. i had (have) a 15t cog i was going to try on the fixed side of the hub, but at the 11th hour i found a surly dingle cog in 17/19, and i liked the idea of options, so i installed that instead. so i have 42x16/19 free, and 42x17/19 fixed. i guess i favor the harder freewheel gear because it's what i'm used to at this point. still never have tried out the 19t cogs, on either side.
