I've just got my fixie together and went out for a quick ride.
I found that when I went up a local hill that I do in bottom gear (32") at around 60 rpm I managed
to blast up at around the same revs in 57".
I usually like to spin at around 100 rpm and use a triple and 14-25 9 spd block to keep in a fairly
narrow band. If I let the revs drop it feels strained. If I get out the saddle my legs hurt after 30
secs or so.
On a fixie you just get on with it. Two gears, sitting and standing. It hurts a bit but not
that much.
Is there any physiology going on here? or is it purely in my head?
