Send a mail to grant@singlespeed.co.za, or call him on his cell (number on the www.singlespeed.co.za site). The site is being redone, I think the focus at the moment though is on SSWC 2012.

Anyone have any experience with these (http://www.rennendes.../spacerkit.html)? Looks like a really neat & tidy solution that also allows for infinite cog alignment like the GearClamp, but looks nicer (personal thing obviously).

Description from manufacturer:

"The Rennen Single Cog Spacer re-invents the current integration of single-speed cogs to multi-speed cassette hubs. Gone are the days of cheap cassette spacers, and less than perfect chain alignment.
The Single Cog Spacer is composed of a set of threaded couplers; one on each side of the cog. To adjust the chainline, simply thread down one side, and expand the other. The Spacers are reverse threaded so that when the system is tightened down with our 7075-AL Locknut you are assured that your cog is secured in place.
Construction is comprised of CNC machined parts, with a durable ano-coating, and laser etched graphics."


US$30 so same price range. No local supplier so I guess online ordering required.

Clever and it does look nicer, but I assume you still need the std tool one would use to remove a cassette when you want to change the rear cog?

I do like the idea of anodized cogs some how appeals to me

What a cool name - would make me buy their products just for that! They must make the ugliest-ass cogs I've ever laid eyes on though - look like they were hand-moulded out of play dough :thumbdown:

Thanks for the info...

We use these Kickass cogs and they are actually very good, light strong, wide base.
Much better and cheaper than a Niner cog which lasted only 2weeks and cost more than R500, so She may not look pretty but she is a hard worker.

Who of you Hubbers know a lot about Singles/Fixies? I have a few questions.
