24 hours 46 views in the Single Speed section and nobody chimes in with some nuggets of info? Hard to believe there are bikers out there without opinions So trying here since it is somewhat equipment related.
Here is a link to my original question but I'll try to shorten it up a bit

If you are trying to achieve a particular gearing does it matter how you arrive there? Is there any school of thought as to better/worse a big chain ring and big rear cog or a smaller chain ring and smaller cog or is a gear ratio simply a gear ratio? My gut tells me it does not matter...but curious if I have not thought it all the way through.
Thanks!
