Product Information
Full details
The Miche Fix Sprocket MR18 is designed for track cyclists and fixed-gear enthusiasts who require frequent adjustments to their gear ratios without the hassle of removing the entire hub assembly. By utilizing a specialized carrier and splined interface, it allows for rapid sprocket swaps, making it an ideal choice for riders who change setups between different track events or terrains. While this system offers unparalleled convenience, users must note that the required sprocket carrier and the sprocket itself are sold as separate components, requiring an initial investment in the full system.

Does the MR18 come with the carrier?
No, the Miche sprocket and the carrier are sold as separate components.
Can I use this with any fixed gear hub?

How often should I replace the sprocket?
Replace the sprocket when you notice significant tooth hooking or wear, which can negatively impact chain life.
Are other tooth counts available for this system?

Troubleshooting
Sprocket feels loose or rocks on the carrier
Ensure the lockring is tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Miche MR18 system, first ensure you have the correct Miche sprocket carrier installed on your hub. Slide the sprocket onto the splines until fully seated. Always use a clean, grease-free interface between the spline and the carrier to prevent slipping, though a light film of assembly grease on the lockring threads is recommended to prevent seizing. Regularly check the lockring for tightness before every ride, especially if you have recently changed gear ratios. When cleaning, remove the sprocket from the carrier to wipe away grit and debris, which helps prevent premature wear on the splines.
