My gearing set up may set a record for biggest wienie.  What can I
say, I'm 100kg and ride some steep hills.

"stock" chainrings - 32/40.  Flip flop rear hub = 17 fixed gear cog,
and on the other side (let me introduce you to my leetle fren), a
White Industries 23 tooth single cog freewheel.

The combo is very, very handy for Sonoma County rides. I typically due
just one gear change, from the high fixed gear to the LOW freewheel.
40/17 fixed down Hiway 12, then into the 32/23 to ride CX in Annadell
park, or climb Los Alamos Rd.  The QB is a very competent, fun CX
bike.  I ride steep, rocky singletrack comfortably - lots of other
riders out there on dual suspension on these trails.
