  • Sheldon, goddam it
    there's a chart with common sprocket chainline and shoulder sizes

  • nice one, thanks

    I've spent ages on Sheldon's site but never seen that page

  • I know, it's like a labyrinth...

    I hope, when the poor old codger carps it (not that long by all accounts) that someone compiles all his info into a comprehensive and easy to search database.

  • is he ill, then?

  • Yes. Check his blog.

  • i thought he got killed by a car.... shows what i know.

  • shame, Sheldon has a form of MS in his legs, can only ride a trike these days

  • Does anybody use an EAI sprocket with goldtecs? I've just received a shiny set of goldtecs laced to cxp33s (nicey-nice) and tried to attach an EAI steel sprocket but they don't like each other. I could go at them with the chainwhip but this is giving me a fairly large amount of fear....
    The sprocket has the letters 'ISO' upon't but the hubs are saying nothing and the betd website is equally as tight-lipped. Anybody have any ideas?

  • Did you grease 'em? Did you thread it on a little, unthread, then thread it a little more?
    If they are new they are often tight. DON'T MISTHREAD

  • No and er, no. I got too scared but I shall try again. The sprocket goes on clockwise and the lock-ring anti-clockwise, no?

  • when i fitted an eai to my new goldtecs i thought i was going to strip the thread it was that tight, spent a bout 20 mins threading it on and off really carefully going further and further each time and checking it was still square.

  • Good. That makes me feel slightly better. I shall break out the lube and ease her on slow-like.

  • EJP No and er, no. I got too scared but I shall try again. The sprocket goes on clockwise and the lock-ring anti-clockwise, no?

    Aye aye aye! :S
    Yes and yes.

  • EJP Good. That makes me feel slightly better. I shall break out the lube and ease her on slow-like.

    Don't know why that made me laugh...probably because I'm 5!

  • Anyone know what brands of sprockets use what threads? besides the obvious.
    Looking for something to go on my dura ace other than a dura ace (as I want it bigger than 16T).
    Can't seem to find a list anywhere of who uses what threading.

  • DA track is 1.370"x24tpi threading.

  • yeah that part i know. but it's finding out what some of the sprocket companies use is the hard part

  • DA works on formula hubs, Surly works on formula hubs.... thats as close to helpful as i'm going to get.

  • Has anyone had any experience of Condor sprockets? Finding it tough to find an EAI steel 18t, Condor swear their sprockets are very close in quality...

  • I use a 17T Condor sprocket. It works kinda like a chainring but smaller.

  • i think the condor sprockets are just as good as the EAI. the one i have is quieter than my EAI . at least it seems like it.

  • they're fine.... the cheap ones and the more expnsive ones.... i've had one of each for ages.
    stop being a pussy and ride!...;)

  • cheers for the info. Condor it is!
