Hip Hop Skid Bikes / Hipster Sleds / HHSB

what size cogs are they running?
To me it looks like a 14t which is the second smallest dura ace cog...

That's from the T5 GB press shots which has a very normal sized ring.

what size cogs are they running?

15 and 16t would make sense. Certainly not 64/14.

But this isn't very hip hop.

The difference is small, but measurable: which isn't to say anyone would notice the difference while riding.

A chain is comprised of a series of straight sections (ie the links), when wrapped around large sprockets this is less apparent and friction is reduced.

At least that's my understanding, I dare say Tstr can explain it better.

Dunno if this is what Scilly is saying but the links would all be over a greater radius of curvature so wouldn't need to be turned through as much of an angle on a bigger ring, and since theres a frictional couple in between the links and pins, surly energy would be lost in turning the links through the greater angels.

edit #1: but then the chain is moving faster so more links are being turned through the angle...
I'm sure tester will lay down the knowledge.

edit #2: ^ oh, Tstr -> tester?

^ Jesus, that’s so good.

I like it a lot

it's not my cup of tee...
mack hubs are cool

I like it.

It's sweet fixie baby blue ❤️

That pic you linked isnt one of their race bikes. Don't think there'd be any way of finding out what cogs they used in their olympic rides.

edit- didnt go to the last page fail. ignore me

In a long list of bikes I wish I had never sold.

that Colnago CDM is mouthwatering.
