anzo Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 (edited) Hi all,I will soon be running a rear profile hub on my pro. Obviously, as my bike is standard I need to replace my ACS claw with a fixed sprocket.Just curious as to how I'm going to do this and I need some help. First of all I will be changing to ISIS cranks/bb, the cranks are the Echo CNC's, and I will be having them with the Echo bashring inc. from tarty.Which/what front spocket will I need? I gather that 18T is most popular so I think I'll stick with that as I don't have a personal preference.Looking at the sprockets on tartybikes, I was looking at the Onza 18T Screw-on Sprocket. Is this basically a screw on/screw off sprocket? No lockring? No spacers?Any advice/suggestions are appreciated. Never done this before and its getting to expensive to feck up now Many Thanks,Matt Edited January 23, 2006 by anzo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
011001000110010101110010 Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Just buy the 18t screw on sproket. If you need to change your gear ratio it is alot easier to buy different sprokets for your profile.As for screwing it one, it really is that simple. There is no lockring because the force you apply to the back wheel continually tries to tighten it so it will never come loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

011001000110010101110010 Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 If they have a standard freewheel fitting then it will.But, it will take alot of effort to get it off again. You will need a good strong chain whip and a roof bar to get some serious leverage on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Elding Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Get the echo one. I got the onza one and the base is too thin and my chain is really close to rubbing on it, I have to run a Kmc uber thin. Or get an onza and whack a spacer on.
