• Very, very stuck cog. May have to get a smaller chainring for Eddy "Balk" Merckx as I don't want to strip the threads and have to get a new hub/build a new wheel.

    PlusGas may be worth a try, Le Manfriend is afraid he'll trash the wheel if he puts even more power through it.

    Ah well always the way with second hand track baiks...rear wheel snookered (bearings were easy to swap though) + stuck cogs...

  • Happen to me, last resort is to put the cog on the vice, tighten it up a lots, and then with sheer force of three person, we managed to get it off.

    All because I never backpedal due to having a rear brake, which made a significant difference.

  • Was the hub OK after that?

    I'm sure more power can be found and applied...but Le Manfriend is worried he may wreck things by sheer force.
