This is a question and not a dig at Velodrome Shop, not just yet without an answer anyway.
Well just recently I ordered a 1/8 12t cog from velodrome shop which was received promptly last week. Upon opening the parcel I inspected the cog and it was apparent that the teeth were very narrow for a 1/8 cog. So narrow that I compared it to my other 12t cog which is a 3/32 and would you believe it the 1/8 from Velodrome Shop is identical to the 3/32 cog which I already had...
An email was fired back off to them from me informing them that I was incorrectly sent a 3/32 and I have received the reply from Velodrome Shop. They bluntly told me that it is indeed a 1/8 cog as I quote from their reply.
"It is not possible to make a 12T sprocket as thick as the other sizes so it appears a lot smaller than traditional 1/8th sprocket"
Now this seems strange to me but I have never had a 1/8 12t cog before and could not find out online if 12t cogs can come in a thicker 1/18 size.
Top marks for Velodrome Shop if they are correct but I really need to know if somebody could tell me - amibeingbull$hitted by them or not?
Cheers
