Yes. The most common size cog for track racing these days is 14T, and I also use 13T and 15T on some occasions. I use a 16T for warmup. This works out to about 80gi for warmup and 90gi for racing. On the road, however, I have no need for anything smaller than 16T, since my gearing very rarely exceeds 70gi.

Check out this stash of cogs and chainrings.

just came along this hub. it's listed on the novatec hp but pretty wage description. supposedly 120 spacing and track hub. iso interface on both sides? where can i order one?
big fan of the bolt on cogs! does anybody knows more?

I've used Miche's cog+carrier system for, I think, three years of riding to the track, changing gears, racing, and riding home from the track. I would have just used both sides of a hub if I had a duplex-style hub, but I was using a Zeus hub, so I had to make do with one side.

It was definitely far preferable to using a chainwhip and switching cogs all the time. It never loosened or got any shimmy or play - the lockring, properly tightened, prevented the cog from moving with respect to the carrier.

The Miche system has an advantage over the Formula system - if something bad happens to the Miche system, you're out a cog and a carrier, probably, but if something bad happens to the Formula system, you may be out a whole hub.

That said, I'd definitely be interested in considering p a race wheel built around one of these Formula hubs. 28h laced to a Kinlin rim, 14 and 15t cogs for warmup and for racing at the NSC velodrome... that would be proper.
