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! :(

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

€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.

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 ?

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 :(
