Thinking about changing my gear ratio to get more skid patches, I found a calculator for the number of patches but what ratio is the best balance of speed, acceleration, and skid patches?

Do you want spin or speed? Are you riding track or no track? Hills or no hills?
The answer is 67gi regardless.
49/18 its ok for flat streets and skid patches
48/17
If you hate yourself. 52/13
I like 50:17
ill go much lower than what everyone say go for something like 48/21. You will probably have an average speed around 25kmh or lower so better to be in high rpm
48 x 17
60×21
the answer is always 47×17
49×17
How long is a piece of rope?
I’m on anything from 46×18 to 63×16. Just depends on how fast I wanna go
Kind of impossible to say without knowing how hilly the place you live is and how strong you are.
