Thom Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 I recently got some tensile's and I'm going to run a track cog with them. My question is, do I just thread the track cog on and it stays tight by itself or is there some kind of lockring like the old XTR cranks ?

TheMunn Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 It's self tightening so it tightens as you pedal so theres no locking ring, but this makes then a bitch to get off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom Posted January 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 I see, but wouldn't it eventually over tighten and then strip ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haydon_peter Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 I see, but wouldn't it eventually over tighten and then strip ?I wouldnt worry about that!A track cog is threaded onto the crank arm just like a freewheel, freewheels have been used with no problems for ages. Track cogs have also been used in other types of cycling for years so I doubt you will come accross what your worried about!Like has been said, the problem is getting the things off once they are on and fully tightened up...
