More Pics Of The New Sugino Cog System

I wrote about them here first, and Tracko has now more info. 

I admit I like the way they look (yes, the colors & they're made Sugino) but I'm still not super-convinced that they would be that much superior to the traditional design everyone's used to.

New Sugino Cog Design


All right, pics of Sugino's new prototype cog design have leaked on the interwebz so I also need to post them here. It seems that they are going the Miche-way with some kind of a carrier design. 

I need to add that most people who have tried what appears to be quite the similar Miche-system, often haven't been so happy about it, especially if you ride on the streets and tend to skid a lot and whatnot.

The Sugino new came from here: 

"Not sure if these are out yet, Sugino rep told me it was a prototype coming out later this year. You get 3 cogs, 16/17/18 with the set, and there is no need for a chain whip, just a shimano road bb tool, which does the lockring too. To change cogs, you just take the lockring off, and the tooth section of the cog comes off laterally."
