You are riding a track ratio and expecting to go downhill without much experience and no brakes
Usually street ratios are between 2,5 to 3, you have 3,6, change your cog to 48:17 or mount a brake

Get a brake dummy! That’s a fucked up ratio for a first fixed gear…

Honestly if this is your first fixie you are lucky that you didn’t kill your self. That gear is way too high to be learning on without a brake.

Nono, there is only the acceptance of downhill. Bigger in front, bigger in the back. Like you’d like it rough but still manageable. 48:13 is just chewing aluminium

Put a brake on it then? Like pride isn’t more important than safety!

Thirteen is crazy 🤣. Maybe a 16T would be better. Just a suggestion.
