I don’t know physics. “Artist!” Empirically, it gets Really Effin Tight.
Artist Math: I imagine that’s because the virtual lever putting the cog on is
longer than the lever (braking) trying to remove it.
The end of the installation lever is the diameter of your bottom bracket shell,

Correct. All 11-speed cassettes are cross-compatible; SRAM, Campagnolo,
and Shimano all used the same cassette spacing when they went to 11-speed.
Also, Shimano 11-speed MTB cassettes fit on 10-speed freehubs (because the
largest cogs are dished). So, you could use any 135 mm OLD 10-speed
No, because they're not selling it anymore.

I don't know what the situation is with mtb cassettes, but you can use Shimano

How is it better than honking up a hill? Leverage. Your weight and core
strength on a 46t ring is nothing compared to a virtual 12t ring and a 622mm
crank arm. You stop cranking when you get scared, not when the cog stops moving.

Jam nuts. Sorry: “Artist!”
It’s how a threaded headset is arranged: fat nut over lean nut. I could find
the article, but not on my phone. The article has graphs of force required to
loosen the nuts, and skinny nut loosens right away, but fat nut holds strong.
Convinced me.

J, its a Silky saw. Japanese, it cuts on the draw rather than push, which is

I've used the rotafix method many times to remove a cog when the regular
chain whip couldn't get it. Never saw a reason to use for installation, as
repeated riding will get it tight enough. Check the lock ring often if you
are worried about it.
As for fixed cog on regular freewheel threads
Thanks, Philip! I may end up doing the rotafix after all. The hub was 32 hole
and I am more comfortable on 36 hole. So before I buy a wheel set I’ll test the
cog on my flip side. How does one remove the rotafixed cog without shattering
things?

I would get the White Industries hub myself. For something as important as a
wheel, going cheap on any part of that wheel compromises the entire wheel and
it ends up costing more later.
Quality wheels are just as important as the frame.

The long horizontal dropouts on my 53cm Rosco Bubbe road were a big reason
I bought it. Some day I'll reinvent it as a single speed. It's a 1x8 now,
and replaced an old Trek 330 road bike I had converted to fixed/free 12
years earlier.
But even with horizontal dropouts it's a compromise as a
Or just squeeze the dropouts in a smidge, and suddenly, all 130mm hubs are
possible. I've been running my Sam this way for years w/no ill effects.

The rotafix removal simply requires looping/folding the chain the opposite
direction, and rotating the wheel forward instead of backwards.
For me, at 245 lbs, 32h wheels have been fine. More than fine. Your experience
and comfort level may vary, though.

If for a single speed, why not also have it versatile enough for fixed

game changer. Becuase of a temporary move to a flattish town, i converted
my Boulder rando bike to a fixed gear, and with the eccentric hub /

That's pretty good. Thanks for posting this. Not that I use hubs without
lockrings, or that I even need a lockring, but if I ever do, this will
provide at least a theoretical additional margin of safety.
If you ever find that article on jam nuts, please post that too.
