Our track cogs are designed to spin onto standard ISO-threaded
(1.375" x 24tpi) hubs, so they will work with most English, Italian and
Japanese hubs, including the Surly New track hubs. The thread base is
7.4mm wide for maximum thread engagement while maintaining enough
room for a track lockring to thread on. Like our cassette-splined cogs,
these are made from machined, heat-treated and chrome plated SCM415
CroMoly steel, so they are tough and long lasting. Track cogs are available
in either 3/32" or 1/8" tooth thicknesses and in every size from 13-22t.
Our cassette-type cogs are designed to fit on standard Shimano compatible
freehub bodies. These cogs have a tall tooth profile that
is essential for preventing chain skip from the extra torque a singlespeed
drivetrain encounters. In addition to being a stellar SS cog, the
cog base width (where it contacts the freehub body) is 4.35mm, so you
can stack a few of them up and use a 9-speed shifter for a simplified
multi-speed drivetrain. This width also prevents it from ruining the
freehub body as a result of digging grooves into it like skinny stamped
cogs have a tendency to do. Surly cogs are machined from SCM415 CroMoly
steel, then heat-treated for toughness and chrome-plated for surface hardening
and enhanced chain lubricity. Our cogs will work with 6-9-speed 3/32" chains, although
we recommend the inherently updated quality of an 8 or 9 speed chain. They are also
available in every increment from 13-22t, so you can select that perfect gear. |
