Cog ID
« on: August 02, 2017, 12:43 PM »
I was rummaging through a sale box in a Tokyo BMX shop the other day and found these 2 cogs in an unmarked bag. The only marking they have on them is the tooth size, and from what I can gather by looking at the splines and digging around online, they're either older Shimano DX cogs or Shimano-compatible ones. Being a bit of a newbie when it comes to cassette hubs, does anyone recognize 'em? Thanks in advance! :daumenhoch:

Nice little find Mick. They look like they could well fit Shimano cassette hubs. There were two different versions for BMX though and I think the cog fitting was different on them. Unfortunately I haven't got one here to check for sure. Suntour also made a BMX cassette hub. I guess they'd most likely be for a Japanese brand ;)

Not sure if this helps Mick but here's some shots of the Shimano cassette hubs from the 81 JBM catalogue:

Thanks for posting that Paul. The teeth on those cogs look to be directional (not sure if that's the right word but you know what I mean!) whereas mine aren't. However, I've seen some others that look more like mine, so maybe there were 2 versions.
