Actually, they're all cogs, mostly for old style Suntour freewheels, and a few single speed freewheels and track cogs. The spare chainrings are all stored out of sight in the bottom righthand drawer of the workbench. The right hand drawers are all parts and left drawers are tools and some small spare parts. Not shown is a wheel truing stand and centering tool, and a parts cleaner.

28 and 36 drillings, bolt on axles.

Yeah, that's great for a CX bike. I'll pass thanks.

That is a good start... I have a Suntour, Sachs, Regina, Maillard, and Shimano board in my shop which were on the verge of being tossed when a local shop was moving.

Just scored a butt load of Shimano cogs to re-stock mine as it was the most heavily used.

You could not handle the pics... and am not sure if I restored those ones to my database yet.

Just have a few from last winter... and this is just a tenth of it.

You mean you don't have a bench vise bolted to the bed of your pickup truck?!?

Victoire proprietary splined FG/tarck hub:



Looks like basically the same deal as those Miche track hubs with the splined cog/hub interface. Still waiting for someone to do the same thing, but with Shimano/SRAM compatible splines.

(found on bikerumor, but I don't dare not link to original source...)

Old news. This thread was talking about single speed hubs, not fixed.

Even if I did loose cogs would be way cheaper than freewheels

White industries hubs are splined as well.

Shimano splines would work like crap in comparison. They are too shallow. If you integrated them into an aluminum hub body you would destroy them. They would have to be replaceable or steel. If you want to use an off the shelf cog campagnolo would be much better.


edit:
this is why shimano splines suck. there is not nearly enough material for loose or single cogs. they worked fine in the days of steel bodys but we have progressed beyond that.



shimano freehubs are one of the worst standards/interfaces in cycling. campagnolo splines hold up to individual cogs just fine:

Yeah, yeah -- was thinking more along the lines of already extant Surly cogs, with a much wider base at the freehub interface to avoid notching like in that aluminum freehub body.

Whatevs. Again, more like a solution to a problem few have; just thinking out loud here...

if you make the cogs a lot wider what is the point in having them share the same spline pattern with a geared bike?

i agree that a splined standard would be great (i own a WI hub) but the shimano standard really shouldnt be it.

Point is simply that such wide-base splined cogs already exist on the market -- no proprietary spline involved.

Agreed: Shimano spline standard is weak, Campy better.

My point is that splined cogs and hubs already exist on the market. There is no reason to want or wait for a shimano splined hub if there is no added benefit. You still would need a "special" cog.

I would think a cog with a wide base would limmit the size of the smallest avalible cog.

Realized that there are newer images of my shop... installed an overhead wheel rack to keep all those spare wheels sorted and missed the opposite corner where I park the trailers and trike and have some decent storage for extra parts.

Am looking at a new shop space and hope to be in there by the spring as I have to add a frame building area.
