My gear ratio is a 34-20 and I use ENO crank set with 175 mm crank. I never had a problem to do any trail that my freewheel friends rider rides on. In fact I can keep up with the most advance rider on technical downhill. My biggest desadvantage is on none technical downhill. When that happen I have a custom fork that was build in which I have a set of clip on that are located on the crown of my fork that I can clip on and let the bike take the speed that it wants. No riding Fix in the woods is not for everyone, but I think that everyone should try it at least once. The best way to describe fast technnical MTB on a fix is like playing chess on a bike. if you are not focus and your head is not screwed on properly you will kill yourself If you want to know more about it or want to try it drop me a line and we will try to make it happen Dan Des Rosiers www.ultimatexc.com I ride exclusively fix gear Mountain bike on a Salsa Juan Solo 26 inches wheel set.
