Does anyone have one?
Can anyone tell me what the range of chainline adjustability is?
Thanks!

(I could call them, but I always forget until its too late to call)

It looks to have just a cog and 2 spacers, my guess would be 10mm. The King cog I have is 2mm I believe, and those spacers look to be 4mm. I think the SS hub and the BMX hub use the same drive shell.

its probibly like my woodman ss hub(it is ss only) were they use a spacer on the inside of the cog to get the cog away from the spokes(becasue you use a small ring there in stead of a normal size 27-34t) and then you have only really one spacer to adj the chain line. the adj that you have is about 3 mm with this setup. there is a good side to this though, the fact that the rear cog in the position is really close to the perfect chainline. in my case the perfect chain line is in the middle of the spacer that is closes to the out side of the bike. the ss hubs will only work well with a 113mm bb though.

i'll measure mine in the morning if no one else confirms the 10mm guestimate.

Know that if you use one of those, you have to buy the adapters for the disc. It is not an ISO hub. I emailed them about this a few months ago and got a reply stating that at that time they had no plans to release an ISO version.

Still a sweet, kick a$$ hub.

I called today. It's the width of eight cogs sans spacers.
Plenty for what I have in mind!

Whatcha got cookin?

Twin parallel single speeds and a fixed gear option.

Twin parallel single speeds and a fixed gear option.

I think my brain just exploded.

huh?

 

[Sideways]

huh?

A pair of cogs on the drive side that each have a perfect chainline with the middle and the outer chainrings, with another cog on the disk brake mount which lines up with the outer chainring.

Three perfect chainlines for : Street, trail, and fixed trail riding.

33/18 (trails)
36/15 (street)
36/16 (fixed trails)

BTW: Fixed trail riding is euphoric!

I'd assume marshall is trying to run two different size cogs, close together on the carrier, for streamlined ratio swapping. For fixed he is probably thinking something like this:

edit: doh! beat me to it.

and really friggin scary! I'm nowhere near confident in my ability to skip-hop my rear wheel before every log!

Sideways,
All you need is a track hub and one of these:

If you're building a high version of this:

Your a freak.

I still haven't gotten into the whole fixed thing, I keep crashing in the driveway.

I think you may have some strength issues with the disk brake mount, that's alot of torque to handle.

That's way hotter than the cheap laser cut buggers I had made!
If I didn't already have $50 invested in a bag full of mine, I'd definitely use one of those on my King wheel.
ssk: Damn! If I had a lawn and one of those, I think I would actually mow the lawn. Kick ass!

Torque issues, ssaddict? My legs have nothing on the power of a disk caliper!

Clever, but still freaky. I can't imagine trail riding on a fixie. How do you tension you chain with that setup. Eccentric BB?

Its ghetto...I'm using a vertical dropout as a horizontal.
Found a gear that was close using Fixmeup!

This bike is my commuter project. I'll post pics when I've got my final touch: A rear rack and some "oyster buckets".
You'll also get a sneak peak at the "Slow Roller Speed Reducer", an Asheville NC Fixxie original!

horz dropouts on the lifetime.

oops, sideways you beat me to it. Did you ever get that shovel and your bike returned?
