Fixed Gear Cog

Published by admin at 12:28 pm under cog

One of the parts you will need in a fixed gear bike conversion project is the back cog. Sometimes, if you buy a fixed gear wheelset it will come with a back cog, other times it will not. You need to double check before you go and buy your rear cog. In order to use a fixed gear cog, you must have a lockring as well.

A 16 cog will probably be best if you are beginning.
