    But really, can anyone explain why the chain drops all the time….just because I stopped pedalling for a couple of seconds.

    Sticky free hub. Replace or service it.

    yeah i know about a NW 39 chain ring 🙁
    It always seems to fall of on the higest gear and always on the outer side of the ring

    I’ll keep an eye open for e 40th with a 125 bca.

    I had 48:12 on my very old SS road bike! For a pretty flat 12km commute.

    I ride 100+ miles a week on 42×15 fixed (19.4 mph at 90 rpm). A flat 100 miles. The standard gearing for road is 42×16 (16 mph at 90 rpm). If you want a 38T chainring, then this will require 14-15T rear sprocket to match. For hilly bits you will need lower and higher (if you want gears 😉 ). For 10 speed, I’d look at an 11-23T close ratio rear block. That will see you up most hills, give you smooth close ratios and allow you to go reasonably fast downhill.
