FAQs

What tools do I need?

You'll need basic tools like a cassette removal tool, chain tool, and possibly a wrench for the lock nut.

Can I use this with any chain?

No, it's only compatible with 1/8" x 1/2" (BMX) chains.

How do I determine the correct chain tension?

There should be minimal slack in the chain. You should be able to deflect the chain slightly with your finger, but it should not sag excessively.

What is the cog size?

The kit includes a 16t cog.

What if my frame's dropouts aren't horizontal?

You may need a chain tensioner to ensure proper chain tension and prevent chain slippage.

How often should I replace the cog?

The cog's lifespan depends on use and maintenance, but inspect it regularly for wear and replace it when teeth become worn or damaged.

Troubleshooting

Chain skipping

Adjust chain tension or replace a worn chain.

Difficulty installing

Ensure proper alignment of the cog and spacers before tightening the lock nut.

Lock nut comes loose

Tighten the lock nut to the correct torque specification.
