i would change mine many times.short straights ,then for long wouldnt always work out but sometimes.i ran large gear for practice and general riding to build up legs then could push it harder on track,could also make you out pedal the bike which wasnt good.

I used to prefer 44/17 or 43/17 but then again I loved to spin.

I rode 43-16, wiv 180mm cranks. Probably should have stuck to 175mm back then. Did run 42-16 at some tracks, like Folkestone.

Did 42-16 at Cockmoor once. Legs nearly fell off. Tracks like that were difficult to gear - all downhill for first half, then flat for the last half.

I never change my gearing, nowadays you spend more time jumping and manualing then you do spinning. Its all about the snap out of the gate and thats more down to technique than going up or down one cog here or there. 33/12 all the way, the same as 44/16 but with trendy little ti cogs. I've just gone down 2mm to 177's from 180's, doubt I'll even notice though
I rode 43/16 til I was about 14 then it was far too spinny after that.

43/16 for me 44 is too much effort back up the hill
