Review on πŸ”© Absolute Black Cog Absoluteblack 18T Single Speed Cassette - Sleek Black Finish (SS18) by Jeff Clites

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent narrow wide tooth profile

Trek Farley (fat bike) gear conversion to single speed. I know but the pain is intense and less maintenance. I had to choose between an 8 speed (or single speed) chain or a sprocket that works with 10+ speed chains. I was intrigued by the narrow-wide tooth profile of this gear. So I chose these due to the narrow profile of the teeth to reduce chain drop. Works well with my KMC 10 speed chain. I also like the wider gear base. I ended up removing the existing spacer to install it. Looks like I have a better chain too. It fits well on a Shimano HG hub. The rifle is probably too light. I'm not sure if it's worth having an aluminum rear wheel. It is better to take steel. I'm not sure about the durability of the screw. Manufacturer's website warns against use over 220 pounds. I'm a bit taller, so I'm taking a risk. There will be more as this gear melts under my weight and pedaling power/torque.
