This will reduce my chances for my chain falling off on te descents, so will give me more enjoyable rides and even less things to worry about. I will trust a N/W cog a lot more in the back, combined with the chain tensioners that work with springs (like a non-shifting derailleur). Don’t want to spend much money on a bike that I don’t use often + no maintenance + no possible issues + a more fun ride).
#SINGLE SPEED COG FULL#
I’m planning on getting one of these for my single speed full suspension bike park machine (single speed because I only ride it 5-10 times a year, and use the lifts to go up the mountain. If I would have had this chain ring back then, I could have been riding the same set up for much longer, instead of having to either replace my chain every couple of 100km (while it is still good), or having to mount a shitty chain tensioner. For smooth rides on roads this was no problem, but while riding high speed over bumpy xc trails, I had a lot of issues of my chain dropping off my cog. This was perfect until the chain started to stretch a bit. I really like this concept, it is what has been missing from the market for a long time!įor example on my single speed XC bike, I used to have the perfect combination of chainrings for my chain to fit perfectly, even though my vertical (/geared) drop outs. If you have used such tensioner once i am sure you know what i mean. If this one gets loose you will drop chain as well. Please also bear in mind that many excellent carbon frames do not have sliding dropouts, so such build will result in a need of a tensioner. On 50km ride your chain can stretch enough (if it was already a bit loose when you started) to drop it while descending. Like every product on the market it has its own reception group.
We are fulfilling the needs of a second group. So this bike is usually really light, with high end components and 10spd chain. Usually owner has 2-3 other geared bikes to ride. In the same time one usually do not care if it is heavy (surly cogs for eg) and rather thinks for low cost and good durability.Ģ) Bikes build on special purpose. In general we have two types of singlespeed bikes.ġ) build from what we have left in shed or our old bike convert to not to spend much cash on that. Moreover they are usually top end DLC ones or similar. But with a little bit of research you will be surprised how many people actually use 10/11speed chains in their singlespeeds. It’s normal that everyone speaks from their own shoes perspective, so we have so many different comments (which is great btw). I always love to read a comment section in here.
If you ride your single speed every day or could in any shape, way, or form, be dubbed a Clydesdale, then stay tuned for the future steel version, which will be launching soon. Also, the teeth have been positioned centrally, so you can always flip the cog to prolong the wear life of the cog.
#SINGLE SPEED COG FREE#
The base of the cog is 7mm thick, so it will not mar the finish of an aluminum free hub body. Not bad for the lightest single speed cog on the market! Current claimed weights for the anodized beauties are 16T(23g), 18T(24g), 20T(29g). Available in a 16T, 18T, and 20T, although the larger and smaller cogs will not be available till June 25th, price will vary depending on region. The one caveat, is that cog is not compatible with half link chains, and will perform best with either a 10 or 11 speed. This means as your chain stretches, the cog will prevent the chain from dropping. In this implementation, the design offers additional strength, better wear characteristics, and has the added benefit of better chain retension. What elevates this beyond the level of a simple cog is the narrow wide alternating tooth profile, which has now become common place on front sprockets. Designed in the UK, and manufactured in Poland, this fancy bit of 7075 Txxxx Aluminum has several unique features. Calling the new single speed cog from Absolute Black simply a “cog,” would be doing the beautifully CNC machined component a disservice.
