Is it really worth the weight? Most fixed gear hubs do not run in a straight line anyways. A adjustable cog in my mind would give you the responsiveness you need. I re true my wheels so they are dished like a free wheel some what. To push the cog out so it actually runs in a straight line. Big difference!!! Also for stiffness buying chain tensioner's and adjusting them regularly make such a difference. Sorry to harp on you're idea but for the added weight I don't really see it. Just my opinion though.

ReplyDeleteAnd I would venture as far as seeing a bit of sarcasm on Jussis behalf in posting this since he is quite aware that this is not a new idea.
