fixed gear bike -- straight chainline

Not much to show... just a closeup of the rear sprocket spinning on campy pista hubs in preparation for a roller race. The parts are as follows: Dura-Ace 14 tooth sprocket, cheap KMC 1/8 chain, Campy Pista rear wheel with campagnolo lockring, old-school Sugino cranks, 51 tooth front chainring

It's easier to spin a big gear on rollers, alix4d.

So much hate... it's just a stupid video. Get out and ride already.

To answer earlier comments, track cogs are interchangeable (1.37" x24tpi).

Lockrings (italian / english&iso / french) have different threading.

The Campy alloy lockring is italian threaded, 1.32 x24 TPI. :-}

Do some research before you try and demonstrate your degree of "knowledge".

It would be a ridiculous gear ratio for the streets... maybe even for the track. But not for rollers! :0

Er... So you've got a straight chain-line? So has my hub-geared commuting bike with a shopping basket on the front.

holy pee I'm dieing

[wayfarin]

it means the chainline isn't straight or the chain isn't tensioned enough.

I used to ride 40x13 and found it tough.

[jamesboland]

i ride a 46x15 and i really got used to it. everyone elses bike feel like theyre in a stupidly high gear

[doublebubblemax72]

my dura ace hub dosent spin like it use to should i service it.

[skippuhh]

is this sound normal? my fixie makes the same clicking sound as yours when its spinning.

get i bigger cog because if you get a smaller chainring, depending on how many teeth their are, you'll be pedaling fast when going like 13 mph. the best thing to do is if you have a flipflop hub, get a cog one or two teeth bigger than the other.
