Surly Dingle cogs
Any estimate on when these'll come out?

$45? That seems a little steep...

Considering a single surly cog is $26 and you're essentially buying two cogs in one, $45 makes sense to me.

Bikes: yes
is this gonna be like a white industries double freewheel, except a track cog?
so, flip flop for people w/o duplex-style hubs.
chainline.
interesting though. real easy - 15mm wrench, loosen nuts, push chain, pull back, tighten nuts.

Actually, for me it's a matter of changing gearing depending on what I'm doing. If I'm hauling weight in a trailer, I like a smaller gear.

my comment was a knee jerk response to the thought of a double cog and a double crankset (wierdo4spd?) that had to be adjusted by hand to change ratio. like ' f u ck didnt they come up with a solution 100+yrs ago.
does seem less figity than a flip flop wheel

Yeah, when you pair it with a double chainring thing (whatever the **** that is) it's pretty ridiculous.
