Precision Engineered for Fixed-Gear Performance: Surly Track Cog
Demand relentless durability and flawless power transfer for your fixed-gear setup? The Surly Track Cog delivers uncompromising performance built specifically for serious track cyclists and dedicated fixed-gear urban riders seeking reliability.
Core Features & Superior Build:
- Track-Specific Hardened Chromoly Steel: Crafted from tough 415 chromoly steel and hardened for exceptional longevity under high-stress conditions – withstands sprint finishes and constant pedal pressure.
- Precision Threading (1.375″ x 24 TPI RH): Features industry-standard BMX freewheel threading for broad hub compatibility on paper. However…
- Designed Exclusively for Track Hubs: While it physically fits single-speed rear hubs or BMX freewheel hubs due to the threading pattern, Surly engineers explicitly design and test this cog only for use on dedicated track rear hubs. Using it elsewhere risks safety and performance issues.
- 18-Tooth Precision: Offers a popular gear ratio choice favored by many fixed-gear enthusiasts for responsive acceleration and efficient cruising in urban environments or on the velodrome.
- Optimized Engagement: Machined teeth ensure smooth, positive chain engagement critical for skid stops and precise control inherent to fixed-gear riding.
