New set of Blue DP18's
 
I'm looking for a freewheel and a fixed cog for them. I'm looking on eBay. Are the threads a standard size? would I need to look for a specific type of threading or anything? I'm new to this. Thanks for the help.

you are looking for one with a flip-flop hub then. make sure that you get one with a decent hub. I can get a wheelset of DP18s at SLC in framingham for 120 for nonmachined colors, 120 for machined white/black and 90 for silver machined-nonsealed bearing
all with formula hubs. dont get ripped off

don't get the red ones. I want them, but haven't any money now :( lol SLC is the best, although phil is a bit crazy

i'm sorry guys, I already got the new DP18's my question is Will and track cog I buy fit on them? or do I need to look for certain size threads or something.

Jordan300 11-19-08 08:19 PM

i looking right at them now and I don't see any markings noting a thread size or anything. So I'm guessing I could buy and track cog off eBay and it would fit right?

If they're Formula/Dimension/Joytec/whatever hubs, you don't need a fancy cog or lockring. Dura Ace, Surly, EAI, etc will work with your hub.

I recommend EAI, Dura Ace, Surly in that order. get whatever you can afford and get a really good quality lockring too. If you're getting a freewheel as well you have more choices but your basic Shimano will work well.

awesome, Thanks guys.

Thetank 11-19-08 08:34 PM

Also get a lockring tool if you're going to install the cog yourself. You don't necessarily need a chain whip cause you can use the rotafix method, Search "ROTAFIX" and it will show you how to do it. The freewheel you can just thread by hand and it will tighten as you ride. Good luck.

Where can you get these for such a good price? The best I've seen is like $150 for the pair.
