miche sprocket vs 'regular ones'

gretsch

I have gone from a Miche sprocket on a rubbish hub with a rubbish lockring... and never had a slippage issue.

I'm now running the same ratio, but with a single piece sprocket and DA lockring, which was installed by Kinoko Cycles on a new halo aerotrack wheel.

it's slipped... I'm confused, I thought with everything upgraded there would be no problems... and i'm feeling to precious about the DA lockring to go at it with a hammer and screwdriver! do the miche tend to slip less, or is it that proper tools are generally less tight than rotofix and hammer method?

Rotofix the cog then give the lockring a bloody a good tighten. That should keep everything in place.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
