My SimpleOne is currently setup a bit over 66" (38 chainring, 16 cog on
700x42 tires). I will stick with this for a bit and see how she goes.

Hi Craig,
Thanks for the interesting info. I’ve had some experience with fixed gear
riding, just locally and on a much lighter bike. Having the QB now, with those
great track dropouts, I thought I should take advantage and make a multi-gear
fixie. This would allow me to extend my travels out
Craig in Tucson asked me to post this on his behalf as his posts aren’t posting

Hey Alan, this is Craig (yea...so what?). When it comes to riding fixed, for
knowledge, inspiration, and enlightenment, you always start with the English.
Single chainring flip-flops were the
This seems perfect.
I have a 39/44 with a 17/21 dingle cog on my Quickbeam. I don’t shift often,
because you really don’t need to.

I haven't been, but yes, you're crazy! San Francisco can be a daunting place to
ride a SS, but you have the option of skipping certain hills. An organized ride
inevitably has "challenges" on the course, and you ain't gettin' around 'em.
Use gears!

I saw several track bikes when I rode Eroica. Also, Lucian Berrutti rode
this:

So it's certainly possible, but challenging.

six months so much that I thought I take it to Paso Robles next weekend for

I'll chime in. I have a 37/39 up front and a WI dos 17/19 freewheel and a
surly 18t fixed cog out back.
If you have interest in trying freewheels I have both 16 and 17 WI freewheels
in my surplus.

Appreciate all the input. I think for now, I'll leave a single up front,
39 or 40, with the dingle 17/21 in the rear. Gives a high in the mid 60's
and low around 50. Since I don't do mountains, like Deacon, this should be
OK. Then we'll see where it leads.

Hi Alan, Deacon is The Man of course. But here is what I did with my Q
gearing: I used 39/45 chainrings with a 17/21 Dingle and a 23T on the flip
side of the hub. That gave me 5 useable gears from 46 to 72 inches. Like
Minh I most often chose a gear and stayed there for the entire ride.
alan, i don't have much to add from what patrick has posted. and this is
my opinion only but this kinda feedback is pretty useless, its one of those
cases where you have to find what works best for you because it really
depends on what shape you're in and what style you like to ride. some
