Cassette Style Cogs

I can't find a source for just the cogs for a shimano freehub. I can only find them in a whole singlespeed kit and I don't need the chain tensioner.


Any ideas?

Also, if you're running 3/32 and are cheap, get a discarded cassette and break or unscrew the pins that hold it together: now you have 7 cogs.

There may be a reason the cassette was discarded like it is worn. Make sure you get a good one.

Yeah, this is still an option. The cassette on there isn't too worn. I just needed to order a decent amount of stuff and figured 5 bucks might be worth it as long as wherever I ended up ordering stuff from had the other stuff I needed for a decent price.

I think the dxr cog will just eat the body. Get a cog with a wide base like the surly. Expensive, but an new body is more expensive!

They will not. I use them on aluminium dt swiss bodies and it's no problem

I highly recommend the Dimension sprockets. These steel mother****ers last forever, and are dirt cheap, compared to the competition.

Unbelievably enough, they're cheap to buy even in effin' Europe!!
