Tool kit minimizing cost + Suicidal hub question
Hi
I'm currently working on my project and want to do everything I possibly can by myself. Firstly I need to sort out this 'what tools to use' problem. I've thought about buying a tool kit but I've been told that buying separately can lower the cost especially since some tools you won't use. The things I need to do specifically are: Remove & replace the chain ring Remove & replace the sprocket (single speed) Clean out & reapply grease to bottom bracket Install breaks As you can tell I'm pretty much a newbie So far I've found http://www.amazon.com/Sunlite-Sprock.../dp/B001KUU1DU Which can be use for multiple purposes. Any other tools that I'd be needing apart from the obvious Allen key? The second question is about a suicidal hub. Currently I have a phil wood fixed hub, the threading is for a fixed cog but I've been told I can apply a ss sprocket although there is less thread available than a freewheel. Would I just follow the same procedure to install the ss sprocket as if the hub were a freewheel and are there any precautions I need to take? Any help is much appreciated Thank you |
I ride dual freewheels on a fixed track hub for my single speed bike I use for SJ Bike Party. Although the chainline is not ideal - cogs are a few millimeters in too far - everything works fine.
