Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Thoughts on Miche Cog Carrier Thing?

I'm thinking of buying one of these, but does anyone have an experience with them? Any and all comments and slanderous remarks are always appreciated.

I have them on 2 bikes, and have put a few thousand miles on each miche set. Ive not
noticed any wear or loosening of the contact points where the cog snaps onto the
mount-ring. I recommend them- they are the easiest way to change cogs. Also- you don't
wear out threads when you change these cogs.

I'm sure they're great for someone who constantly changes cogs.....like on the track.
