Mr Motivator Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 (edited) I have a 16t ring up front and a 14t up the back and I'm running a KMC Kool K710 (BMX one). First off I need a new chain, it's old and worn. I'm deffinatley going to get annother Kool but.. I could also do with a new 14t rear sprocket because, at the moment, my BMX Kool sometimes skips over my 14t sprocket as is is just one from a cassette. So, do I; 1. Get a new Kool K710 (BMX) and either a King Kog, Surley cog or similar to stop skippage or, 2. Get a new Kool K810 (Cassette Kool) and have done with it. ???

Lawnmowerman Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 If the teeth on your cog arent hook shaped then dont bother with a new one, your chain is probably just stretched. Get a new one and see how it goes from there (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 New chain + new cog = joyness. Mine was skipping like a ho when I had the Onza cassette hub with a cassette sprocket. got a DX on there, and it was fine.., Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Motivator Posted October 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Surely if I just get the cassette chain then my skipping will be sorted and I will save money too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich4130 Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Get a 14t DX Sprocket. Then get a new chain. Will work a treat and you'll have change from £15 rather than getting king kogs etc. The K810 is the 'cassette' narrow version, its just the same as the bmx one but narrower, so I can't see it making any difference. I would never run a cassette cog on the rear, its silly to constantly replace your chain, when your running the risk of it slipping off, which could have all the same problems as the chain snapping.

Designed for a bmx chain, the KHE collapse fits perfect on it and has a wide (4mm-ish) base and is steel. it looks good (Y) can't wait to get it on my bike.

The ones on tartybikes are 4.5mm and are 20 quid.. So if that one ^^ is 4.5 I'll have one of them as they are cheappppppppppppp. Edited October 27, 2005 by Sam@SouthTrials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
