Nice ride.

 

Are the Dirt Wizards the 'fat' tyres you refered to in the Fat Bike Thread? They look around 2.5?...

They're more Chubby than Fat, 2.75 (real 2.75), about 8-10mm wider than a Nevegal 2.5, but casing makes up most of that width as opposed to edges of the tread

 

EDIT: To be honest the photos don't do it justice

Keen to know how those things roll ... both from a DH perspective and just rolling along to get to the top of the DH ST

Excavators you have to pedal downhill to get them started :ph34r:

I had a similar hub on my On One, it was a hack to try and get replacement screw on cogs in any size larger than 18 and with the torque you put through that cog on a SS you end up winding them on so tight it was near impossible to get them off again. On the flatlands you should be OK but in the Cape it didn't work for me.

 

Ye the problem is it's a 28.6mm thread. I dont think track cogs come out with such a small screw thread? If anyone knows where I can source these cogs let me know please.

Some BMX hubs use micro-cogs /sprockets
