Charge bikes hub

lock bolts instead of lockring~ looks delicious and nonthreadstripping! om nom nom nom nom~
|
I'm tempted to try this on my next build, I think this design is alot safer than the lockring/threaded design. It's designed to deal with the pressure equally in both directions, and dismounts on a different axis. Much better design than before, but as highlighted, there is a limit to how small of a cog you can go (which ain't too much of a problem for me, with my 52T C/R).
|
Or you can just use a $15 front disk hub and do the exact same thing for less.

I like this idea, but Tomicog, and hundreds of homebrewers did it better first
Why do we need a new standard? The 6 bolt disk brake works perfectly. Although I suppose it's more likely to see a disk version of this hub, than a disk/disk flip flop for fixed riders who want a disk brake. |

I used a bolt on disk cog last winter and it worked great. Doesn't Surly have a fixed/disk hub now? |
I'm waiting for a Center Lock cog ;)

I love using my fixed bike in terrible weather (3 inches of fast moving water last week). I'd be nervous about one of the bolts rusting, locking the cog in place.
If not for that, it looks cool. |

well lockrings are aluminum right? are the bolts not aluminum as well?
And +1 on this being pointless - the ISO 6-bolt hubs work great, so exactly what problem is being solved here? If they want to machine custom hubs, put an ISO 6-bolt pattern on both sides so that I can choose between running 2 ratios in a flip-flop setup, or a cog on one side and brake on the other. Or a dual-disc setup on the front... Or on the rear of a chainless downhill bike! |

not completely new to make a fixed gear specific hub for bolt on cogs. Fixie inc showed these Marshall hubs at interbike 2010:

boone,phil,fixkin,vallie,londonfixie,tomicog,etc make these cogs

The old Miche splined cog system works pretty well.
