Been riding a single speed road bike for a few weeks now. I'm finding that its getting easier.
Does it make sense to change the rear cog a tooth smaller or should I stick with my initial setup as its nice for the hills.
Just wandering what the general feeling is.

Do it! I've got a long term aim to push for higher ratios up to (at least) the point where I can ride in Wales in 32:16 without having to stop every 10 mins on climbs for a breather 🙂
Last attempt at 32:19 was a winner & reckon next time 32:18 will go well.
FWIW I use 38:15 or 38:16 for general near home (S. Leics/N. Northants) riding.
