I've not had too much of a problem climbing on my SS.
Cheddar Gorge on a medium gear is quite do-able."Impressive break"

Then again, if you're gonna ride 90 inches like LiT it shouldn't be a problem. getting up the hill in the first place however would be nigh on impossible.
(See how I brought it back on topic there?:))

Yeah, but the Gorge isn't a proper climb like we get over here
Flew up it the only time I road it although I doubt I'd get up it on the big ring now 
EDIT SS is so bad but a fixed would be a nightmare as the sort of gears you'd need would spin out within a few metres on the descents.0 -

Thats the best image I've ever seen."I hold it true, what'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost;
Than never to have loved at all."

Does Lost_in_thought have a job or sit on BR all day?
Simple Answer: Women are far superior multi-taskers, therefore can do their job and faff about on BR, whilst still doing both to as good a standard as a man doing either one or the other :-)Earn Cashback @ Wiggle, CRC, Evans, AW Cycles, Alpine Bikes, ProBikeKit, Cycles UK :

I'm deeply suspicious of this 'multi-tasking' thing. Isn't it just a euphamism for 'can't concentrate'?0 -

It's the Gear Index, She's riding the equivalent of a Penny Farthing with a 90 Inch diameter wheel.
Most Fixie/SS bikes for the road come with about a 70" gear.
The track bike I just hired at Newport Velodrome had an 82" gear.

but when it goes wrong:Holly: I just don't know where we are. There's no two ways about it: I flamingoed up!
Rimmer: What do you mean?
Holly: It's like a cock-up, only much much bigger.
