52 schwinn cog

[monstermike]

i have a 52 schwinn with a skiptooth chain, spocket, and cog. I am want to buy a new set wheels but i want to know if it was possiable to put a skiptooth cog on a new set of wheels.

You would have to relace the skiptooth hub into the new hoop

 

[monstermike]

that would suck i did not want to do that

Get a cog with an even # of teeth, cut off every other tooth, works great.

These are cheap Chinese wheels.

:? really? from what I heard the links are a different length than a regular 1/2" chain..

A number of members have done this, it only works on the small cog on the back.

The cog must have an even number of teeth to start with. Here's a comparison of the chains:

I have done this successfully on the front chainring a number of times.

 

[deorman]

I read on here that 1" pitch chain won't work on the front, or are you referring to using a 1/2" pitch chain?

 

[c.p.odom]

My mistake, yes I was cutting teeth out and using a 1/2 inch chain.

What kind of hub is on the rear wheel now?

 

[caffeine7]

it's really not that bad, I recently bit the bullet and bought some spokes and tried wheelbuilding. Go to sheldonbrown.com and look up wheelbuilding and it walks you thru it step by step. Now i can build what I want instead of what i can find that is still usable or buying new wheels. I've built a red band kickback into an S-2, a three speed wheel and a few fronts. you dont need a truing stand if you get creative with some old forks and a set of brake calipers.

 

[monstermike]

it has a new departure model d

 

[monstermike]

i am thinking about selling the wheels that came on it because of what it cost to get a set trued is so high
