Thanks -- yes, I've noticed that Surly fixed cogs are thicker in the center

Hey Patrick,
Maybe you've already completed your two-speed conversion, but if not, there
is some useful info in yesterday's Bikesnob
blog: https://bikesnobnyc.com/2023/11/29/dingle-all-the-way/
The key message is that the Surly single-speed cogs are thicker at the base
so you could use one for

Oh! And at least 2 studies have shown that 3 speed hubs (well, at least
those tested, but I assume all use the same simple, basic 1-epicycle design

but ever so slightly more efficient -- in the 0.0n range. And you can

Excellent! Thank you! So there is serendipity in that the lockring threads
match standard fw threads. Very good to know.
Now I can simply overhaul that cheap ss freehub -- Redline? -- and don't

Hi Patrick!
I don't remember the hub, and I searched my email for hubs I bought in 2009
– I was only able to find the one I built into the front wheel. However!
This exercise show something loose in my head and I now recall how I made

freehubs that had room for 2 cogs.

Yeah, it looks marginal to get a second cog in there with a narrower
spacer. According to Sheldon Brown, 9-speed cogs want a 2.54 mm spacer
between the cogs: https://sheldonbrown.com/cribsheet-spacing.html
I now remember that my monocog became a three speed after I built it a pair
of winter
Thanks, John. I'd not seen that before.
Funny, the Monocog has track ends with considerable room for axle movement
but it has the old fashioned caliper mounts with no such adjustment.
Perhaps that answers my question as two whether the caliper could
accommodate 1/4" of axle movement.

Hello Patrick,
Did anyone mention the All City Nature Box 853 SSCX disk brake bike? The
rear disk brake mount is slotted to allow for alignment. No idea how easy
that would be to adjust on the fly.

The updated numbers now corroborate the qualitative claim that it won't
fit. So, have you ordered your new Paul Disc WORD hub yet?

Sorry, not 5 mm, the usual ~2mm Shimano spacer. Actually I think it's a 9

Patrick Moore claims to have a 5mm spacer + a 3/32" cog on a hub. Assuming
his story is accurate, that's a stack up of 7.38mm
Wesley said "put another cog on there", to which Patrick Moore said there

8-speed Shimano cassette cogs are 1.8mm thick, and the
I could indeed get a second cog into the place of the spacer but
there'd be no room for the chain.
No, good thought, but you'd need 5 mm more of space for: big cog + spacer +
small cog; then lockring. As it is, the big cog and small cog would have to
butt up against each other; no room for
Ah. Can you not remove the 5mm spacer? That should be enough room for a
second cog, IMO.

Not mine, said by seller to be a 2012 model. I have a 5 mm spacer, then the
3/32" cog, and then the lockring threads.
Good to know that the caliper (again, list, almost vertically atop the
rotor at top dead center, but actually offset a cm or two forward) can
accommodate a bit of fore/aft axle
Hey Patrick,
My recollection of my monocog was that the freehub had room for three cogs.
I think there were spacers on the hub that covered up most of the free hub
- remove the locking and you can do adjust the spacers as necessary. If
yours is the same, then you could just keep that wheel and
