My new phil wood lockring is too small to lock the miche cog and carrier. In other words the cog can move inside the carrier when I fully thighten the lockring. I could turn the lockring around, letting "the bigger text part" face the carrier. Anyone done this? Bad or good idea?

I've not done that personally. But I got a complete bike from someone who had this set up. It was shit! The cog and carrier would slip all the time and would become looser and looser whenever I rode the bike. It was awful. I took the carrier off, put a proper cog on and hey presto, everything was fine.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
