are they compatible?
Hi Gabri,
What you call the "pinion" is what in English is called a "cog." Yes, those cogs are compatible with that hub. Were you planning on re-building the wheels using the original spokes and rims ? If so, the spokes will probably be the wrong length, and you will need to buy new ones. Do you know if your wheels are 27" or 700c ? Are they clincher or tubular ? If they are 700c, it will probably be less expensive for you to buy a new complete rear wheel with a track hub, and reuse the original front wheel.
