Patrick, I'm not sure what you are asking. You've got some kind of single speed cassette hub on your Monocog. What do you want to buy? Are you looking to buy a different cassette body that you will install into your existing rear wheel to carry two cogs? Or are you looking to buy a

Too bad that the DOS fws are disappearing as the Dingle 2X fixed cogs did. But question: My Monocog has a single speed freehub that takes a Shimano HG-spline splined cog. A quick search just now shows Bontrager and DT ss freehub bodies and some made by companies unknown to me, but are these

Pelago makes great racks that can attach to eyelets or through the axle (and then attach a Wald 139). The RBW rack is available through Blue Lug (Japan) for appx $100 less than sourcing it here in the states. You will pay a little bit for shipping, but it allows you to justify adding a bunch

Not that anybody cares, but people reported the 16/19 was/is out of production. That was partially true, and now is totally true. When I reached out to Mike last month, he secured the last 16/19 that White Industries ever made. It arrived today, so now I'm all set. Eagle eyed parts buyers

A couple things with the ST Sprint shifters Pam. Firstly I don't know for sure, but I'd venture to guess the compression washer Riv and others sell for the Dia Compe/Riv versions will likely work as I thought these were based on the Sprint tooling. Secondly, I read this about Campagnolo DT

I ordered a new shifter but - duh - ordered the wrong one. So I ordered the correct one. It's on it's way. I promise I'm not lax about my bike. But I'm not overly careful. Parts wear out and break. I like a tall kickstand and I strap my purse on the handlebars and sometimes it falls or

Hi Alex, Just double checking - but you mention a Wald 139 basket (the larger one) and the Tunitas 137 tote (the one designed for the Wald 137 basket). If you are looking for the larger basket, then the Pelago Rasket may be worth a look. It's another combo basket and front rack and the basket
