Re: [RBW] Surly Dingle Cog Discontinued

Extra drag on a coaster brake? No. Big drag rebuilding the hub with two kinds of grease? Yes. Philip Santa Rosa, CA On Sunday, January 14, 2018 at 2:05:00 PM UTC-8, Patrick Moore wrote: > > Thanks. 2 more questions: > > Did you feel any additional drag with the coaster brake edition? > >

Re: [RBW] Surly Dingle Cog Discontinued

Thanks. 2 more questions: Did you feel any additional drag with the coaster brake edition? And: do you feel safe riding a freewheel with just a front brake? (A second brake of course is largely for backup purposes, since most braking is done with the front.) I know that British Racing Tr*cycles

Re: [RBW] Surly Dingle Cog Discontinued

I’m pretty happy with the S2. I sold the original Quickbeam wheelset to a friend, so I’ll probably keep the S2 for another year or so. The overdrive feels fine, and I’ve come to enjoy the click-click-click of the high gear. I had a vintage 2 speed automatic wheel with a coaster brake, and the

Re: [RBW] Surly Dingle Cog Discontinued

Yep, you can mount two cogs with four of these things for a 2-speed, or just use spacers. RBW sells both, plus several sizes of single cogs. GearClamp SingleSpeed Conversion Kit for Shimano/SRAM Freehub, each (n – Rivendell Bicycle Works

Re: [RBW] Surly Dingle Cog Discontinued

Doug You are correct in your assumption that cassette hubs are incompatible with freewheels. You can quite easily make a cassette hub a single speed with cog and spacer kits. IanA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To

Doug: You can turn your freewheel into a single (and probably two-speed) with spacers. There are kits out there to do this. Eric N www.CampyOnly.com CampyOnlyGuy.blogspot.com Twitter: @CampyOnlyGuy > On Jan 13, 2018, at 11:47 AM, Patrick Moore wrote: > > The ENO is a

Thanks for the education, Phillip. Am I right that the DOS ENO only works with freewheel hubs and not cassette hubs? Forgive my ignorance. Thanks, Doug On Friday, January 12, 2018 at 9:54:51 AM UTC-8, Philip Williamson wrote: > I'm a big fan of the dingle cog in practice. With two rings and a

Re: [RBW] Surly Dingle Cog Discontinued

Philip: How do you like the S2 hub? Do you notice drag in overdrive? I've seriously considered kickbacks, SRAM or SA, as second wheels for my fixie Rivs, but unfortunately both are overdrive rather than underdrive, requiring either swapping out a ring for a small one, or installing a cog too

Re: [RBW] Surly Dingle Cog Discontinued

As Philip said, you don't shift as with a usual multiple gear system, but only for hills long enough to make it worthwhile. Personally, I use the bigger of the 2 cogs very rarely, but when I do, they're useful -- eg, one ride involves a ~ 3-4 mile climb; another a 5-6 mile climb; those make

Re: [RBW] Surly Dingle Cog Discontinued

I'm a big fan of the dingle cog in practice. With two rings and a quick release, you can manually shift very quickly by moving the axle and rolling the bike. You'd only shift for long climbs or offroad riding. You can't use it with a derailleur, but you could use a DOS ENO freewheel with a

Re: [RBW] Surly Dingle Cog Discontinued

The Dingle is one of these things I’ve suspected for awhile I would like in theory but not in practice. I could never get over the idea of having to stop and move the chain manually, and I was never clear if this could be engineered to be used with a derailleur, essentially giving you a geared
