P.s: wrench and spanner are equal in meaning... im not sure if you knew that.

Backyardamusement, im sorry for trying to help out a commentor asking what the tool was called. Ill remember your rude response the next time i am attempting to help a fellow cyclist.

@MrJiggins92 then you should have actually posted your response to their question itself (press reply on their comment) other wise it looks like you are just randomly commenting on the video. making it look like you were just a typical smug youtube commenter trying to correct what i said in the video. thus the reason for my dickheadedness. i apologize but you can see my confusion.

whats the difference between a sprocket and a cog really confused?

DeeSighh 3 months ago

@DeeSighh

technically speaking, sprocket is just the name of a specific type of gear. a cog however, is the name of a single tooth on a gear. so in reality, the proper term would be to call it a sprocket. for whatever reason, this is not the case in the bike world and they call it a cog even though, as explained, that's not the case lol so all in all you can call it whatever you would like cuz its apparent no one knows actual names for anything any way :p hope that helped clear things up.

The tool is called a lockring spanner.

MrJiggins92 4 months ago

@MrJiggins92 actually its called a lock ring wrench, thats what its called if you get one from park tools and their stuff is the best so id trust their word about it over yours :p do a google search for "lock ring wrench" and then sit quietly in the corner.

whats the name of your tool?

@filipinoguy415 honestly, dont get the one im using in the vid. get 2 separate tools. a chain whip and a lockring tool. the reason i say that is because the one in the vid is both put together (and pedal wrench) and in some cases sucks ass because in theory the tool works but not in many real life applications. so yeah, just get 2 separate tools you wont regret it (for doing a cog and lockring). all that to say, the tool in the vid is made by aviner just google aviner chain whip

What kind of hub do i need just to use only the cog and lockring in order to get a fixed gear ?

jotatanka 9 months ago

@jotatanka not sure what you mean by "only." you got 2 basic choices, a "flip flop" hub which allows for a freewheel on one side and a fixed on the other or just a "fixed" hub (track hub). hope that helped, if not, be more specific. google "origin 8 wheel" to see the ones im using in the vid, those hubs are made for a fixed cog on both sides.

@BackyardAmusement I'm sorry if misled you, english is not my native language :) By that "only" I meant that I don't want to use any spacers or anything other to get the chain line straight. Anyway, thanks for the quick reply and nice video :)

@jotatanka (im the person in the video, im on a different account) ok, i know what you mean now. in order to move the chainline you would need a different size bottom bracket or some chain rings can be mounted on the front or underside of the crank arm. however, depending on your chain width you can be up to an eighth inch off and still be ok. if you have any more questions feel free to ask.

@jotatanka to get a straight chainline with no spacers means you need to get a shorter bottom bracket. sorry it took so long to respond. i honestly thought i did.
