Just spotted this on the 'bay - "track adapter"

Wouldn't that just thread off when slowing down? I can't see how that's safe at all really...

it's been posted about a million times before.

i have always thought the same, there is no way to secure it other then screwing on??? just like a freewheel thread then?

Yeah I would think so...

it's a dumb device. might as well just put a track cog on the freewheel thread.

they also push the width out to get proper chainline. i've got a freewheel one in my bag if anyone wants.

surely it would'nt screw off, it fits the star shaped recess that modern freehubs slot into-held on with hollow allen sleeve bolt-still not good long term conversion though.

Nah its a screw on adaptor.
You have to wonder why they even bothered with a lockring thread on it

What it does is makes a multispeed screw on hub accept a fixed cog and lockring. the main advantage of this item is to give correct chainline without the need of respacing and redishing of the wheel. I have not ever tried one but I have been told they work well.

I'm guessing they would work on the track, when your slowing down is not so aggressive? Just highly impractical on the streets if you like a good skid or 2!
I've recently been offered a rear wheel with said screw on block fitting on the cheap. I was gonna get a track adapter and see how it worked.
Has anyone ACTUALLY used one?

I use a surly singlator, whcih doesn't rotate when slowing down because it fits on the splines where the freewheel would go rather than being screwed on.

I think you mean Surly Fixxer. The Singulator is a chain tensioner for single speeds.

Fixxer..

Singulator..

Duh.
Your right.
I try to rock/ride a full range of surly products, the fixxer on my fixed, the singulator on my SS.
Sorry

rock/ride

that was meant to be sarcastic

Just screw the cog directly on to the wheel without the adapter then redish the wheel. Save your money, it's a pointless item.

TheBrick: Can you please explain how to redish a disc-wheel?

George Sportif makes no mention of a disk wheel in his quoted text. That was who I was answering.

but.. if you want to redish a disk wheel I suggest you need to use a hammer and then some glue.

Ha!

Do you still have the single speed adapter available? Could I buy it off you?

Seeing as this was 3 years ago, plus the fact Dogsballs is now back down under, I doubt it.
