Bike porn

Ahh thank fuck it's a cannondale without those shitty 'fliter' added to it.

Cassette adaptor

anyone know were i can get one of these. Tried emailing them a few times and no response any other ideas

Repost. And considered to give too bad a chainline to be useful : not porn

...You just load it up with spacers, Shirley?

How would that work...? Surely to have as little variation of chainline as possible you want the sprockets as close to eachother as you can (spacers having the opposite effect)

Much better solution :

Hey, that's Ed's line !

One sprocket with the correct amount of spacers either side to get the chain line right. Save you getting a new wheel if you want to run your geared road bike fixed. Multiple cogs is just an option and could possibly mean bad chain line.

I have heard there is a bit of take up in these and I don't know if they are up to skidding. Might be wrong.

you goffer. the exposed cogs aren't going to be used. they're just spacing out the cog in use. why they used cogs though is beyond me. i suppose it's just a display.

it's a solution for converting road hubs to be use with a fixed wheel sprocket, the advantage of having more than one cog on it is a bonus (paired up with a double or triple crankset of course).

of all the above explanations, i'm presenting the one thats correct.

No, multiple cogs were installed so that the user could simply loosen the wheel and move the chain from one cog to the other, to have multiple gears. Hence the chainline problems, unless, as Ed stated, you use a double or triple crankset

E : I doubt the people using this adaptor are stupid enough to use cogs as spacers, hence making you [jersey] wrong.

Why not use 3 sprockets and a triple chainset; perfect chainline in all three gears, and a wider range without worrying about running out of adjustment. E.g. 44/14, 42/16 & 38/20 gives 83", 69" and 50" without any change of chain length

dude there's no fucking rim on the wheel. none of that is there for any kind of use.

I'm pretty sure this is the solution

and I'm pretty sure this is probably a repost but I don't care, this page needs porn

wondeirng how you know the chain won't change in length.

edit: oh youre just counting teeth? i suppose it's close enough. it's not linear though. a change of two teeth in back represents a larger relative change in circumference than adding two teeth in front, which means the radius changes by a different factor. this puts the apexes of the bends of the chain at differnet distances from each other.

I think photo was taken at a bike show/etc and the 3 sprockets were fitted to show the many variations sprocket distance the adapter can give.

It's main purpose is to turn a standard hub, with a freehub, into a 'fixed' hub.

I might be wrong. Meh.

Edit - Doh, forgot to update the page before posting. Jersey answered much more succinctly :D

No, but it F-in close. Unless you're changing by a huge amount (e.g. 52/14 to 34/32), it's close enough not to affect the important things like brake alignment.

What's up with the avatar?

avatar was ashit movie! anyway R.S. has aporn stream there:

when it here comes to this:

:D

2 speed kickback coaster brake FTW;

When is this out gah want now!

sorry, pasted the wrong links. i dont know much about these, but first one is called 'track bite' and the second features a rather natty half beat-up and half nice 'n' shiny paint job. while componentry is nice, it isnt mega, but they look pretty rude. excuse the pony photos. iphone camera sucks ass;

One mans treasure..........

I liked the second one until i noticed the gash 2tone paint. shoulda bin an all white saddle too

All 3 are shit
