Homebrewed components?

[Bearbonesnorm]

Has anyone tried anything from homebrewed components in the states?

Im really liking the look of the 2 piece SS cogs ... it'll have to be stainless though as my arms aren't long enough for a Ti version

Will let you know when it arrives.I'm awaiting my order :) I went stainless on orange spider, also gone for a Renthal chainring, although the Homebrewed rings look fanatstic. Kinda hooked on the Ala Carte in single speed guise.

I've had front ally cogs and a rear 2 piece stainless rear cog off them on 2 occasions, mainly because they do a 31T for the old XTR crank I use in 1x9 format.
They are superly made and the anodising seems pretty tough as they stay looking good for some time.
The rear sprocket has a wide and close fit to the free hub splines.
First ones I bought took forever to arrive, paid for the extra postage second time round and delivery time was only a week.

What spacer kit are you using in those pictures? Sounds like I may have some time to shop for spacers and everything else as I paid for regular postage! :(

[numplumz]

umm! spacers that came with a hope Trials hub, there are plenty of kits around though.

Discovered this since which I think is brilliant as it makes for easy cog swaps and perfect alignment.

The Gear Clamp looks a great idea, but €45 posted from Belgium, ouch!! I've always used the On-One spacer kit, but wondering with the Homebrewed bit of I need a selection on slimmer shims.

Blimy I paid €15 for mine, guess we won't be seeing many of those around then

[didnothingfatal]

€15!! looks like you got a bargain there! €29 for the clamps and then €15 P&P for a bit they brag about at 18g!

Stuart did you order a cog? Has it arrived? I've heard nothing from them at all, not even notified if the cog has been dispatched.

Stuart did you order a cog?

No, never got round to ordering one ... fire them an email over.

[didnothingfatal]

Yeah that's the plan, it has two months too arrive!

My experience of this company is crap! looks like I'll be needing to buy a Surly cog for Mach n Back to sort the single speed.

Shall I take it that your cog hasn't arrived yet ?

[didnothingfatal]

Now trying to establish if it has even been made! I built the bike this morning for Mach, to get some miles in on it, to find I need longer chainring bolts and decide do I just order a Surly? If it's not been made then it's a no-brainer!

Forget chainring bolts; Middleburn Uno + Surly sprocket is the way to go 8-)

+1 ... Uno set up on 2 bikes, lovely bit of kit.

Having got Middleburn rings (both on the triple and SS cranks) and now having a Renthal ring, I'll stick with my SS Stylos and bolt a Renthal to the setup. I really just want my cog :(
