Suicide! hub.
 
I'm thinking of making a suicide hub. As far as I know, I may also know wrong that not all cogs are the same size thread. So..what brand cogs work on a freewheel hub ?

trons 04-12-07 04:27 PM

the cheapest one you can find

progre-ss 04-12-07 04:31 PM

The surly ones fit fine on my freewheel hub.

subsistbmx@hotm 04-12-07 04:45 PM

I found some pretty cheap SOMA cogs. Would that work ?

Cynikal 04-12-07 05:32 PM

Yup.

That'll do the job..."Loctite" Red...and a Bottom Bracket Locking if there's enough threads left. Just finished building a suidide fixed gear for my cousin. This is his first so I highly doubt he'll be skidding and skipping anytime soon.

"Suicide" hubs are no problem as long as you run F and R brakes and you eschew skidding, skipping and other hipster tricks. Gerry

Yeah, I'm not very worried. I'm sure I'll be ok.

It's funny that in the entire history of mankind, the only people who have ever known that the stupid thing they were about to do was going to hurt are Johnny Knoxville and co. Everyone else seems to be an eternal optimist. That is, until they get hurt. Cheapasses

It should be all fun and games if he uses a brake.
