I know one QB rider actually switches gear in the middle of the ride. It only takes a minute if you done it a few times but I will not do that myself. Not because one minute will change the ride, but I don't like getting cold and get grease on my fingers if I don't have to.
For a while I was going to do a 42/39 in the front and 17/20 in the rear fixedgear, but after a while I drop that idea because when I ride fixedgear, I ride one gear. If I want gears, I bring my other bike with gears. Just my 2 cents.
