Wanted: Fecking huge cog

what's the hill?

I can get them for you upto 32 teeth for around a fiver! No brand really also they have cut outs etc. Can get them for this weekend if the guy didn't sell out!

32 teeth rear cogs?
That's worth buying just to see it.

Oh yes! 32 rear cogs! look like bloody dinner plates! I could belive it when i saw them! Also i hve seen someone riding one on friday!

and can you get unto 32t or just 32t?

The guy had from 14t upto 32t cant remember the other sizes but plenty of 20isht. Im going to check and if any interest i can have them by sunday! Plus im in London as well!

is it worth getting the andel cogs over a cheap one like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fixed-sprocket-3-32-nickel-high-spec-20T_W0QQitemZ230323207395QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR?hash=item230323207395&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1688%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318 anyone got any horror stories?

Bumpety bump bump.

Did the climb with 41:23, and ended up pushing a cadence of around 30 for 19km, pushing the bike for a large part of the steepest 1km, then momentarily blacking out, and pushing myself + bike away from the finish line.

Now really really want a 24+ tooth cog for next year!

The Andel website states that its sprockets go up to 25 teeth. But nobody I've found on t'net sells anything bigger than a 22T. Have now contacted various stores plus Andel themselves. A 25 tooth 1/8" would be just the ticket, fingers crossed.

if you get the chance to make an order give me a shout - i hate to tag in on all your hard work but a mountain climbing gearing would be a useful cog to have in reserve

Surly do up to 22t in 1/2 and 3/32:

but he already has a 23t...

let me know if you get it, I will be interested too.

I got an email back from Andel in March telling me the biggest they have is 22t and the do not plan to produce bigger in the near future.

bastards- get on to john at 14co - he should be in negotiations with goldtec about producing cogs...

you could change cranks, my old stronglight have a 36t and can go smaller.

+1 change cranks.

Yeah, if I manage to track some down I either buy a batch, or spread the word.

This is the most logical solution admittedly, but it just seems like a lot of expense and hassle for a single ride. Now that I already have the 41T 144BCD chainring having a 24/25 tooth cog to wack-on is my fav option.

(usually run 48 : 16/17, so with 41 : 23/24 I would'nt even have to brake my chain. I'm committed to my laziness)

teasing buggers.

speak to the guy who was at critical mass on friday
he had the wierdest gearing ever
huge front and huge rear
not sure if he's on here but it made me double take when i looked at his tramission

good'n'easy on the drive train init. larger cogs mean longer corners for the chain to go around=less wear/smoother drivetrain

also, don't blb sell big sprockets?

And less stress on parts (longer levers)

Any luck?

why don't these companies make larger cogs is it the torque on the threads on the hub
as the cogs get bigger the torque would get bigger non ? more chance of stripping the thread ?

nope.

Force at a specific distance from the centre of rotation would be the same if the same "work" was being done.
If the ring is bigger though (force applied further away from the pivot) the load on chain and sprocket/ring would be less.
