14t track cog (non scew on) in stock?
Rather than do the obvious thing and work my way through the phone book I thought I'd come to the Internet Bicycle Oracle. It's the interaction that you just don't get from Yellow Pages that keeps me coming back.
I have a singlespeed conversion thing with all the spacers on the freewheel but the 16t is way to spinny for my commuting.
Thank you very much.

Try the Cyclery in Uppermill. At least one of Steve's (owner) sons rides track at the velodrome. They would be a good bet

Where's Uppermill? Anywhere near to Stockport? I have to cycle to the shop to buy it or get the train.

Oh, might be a problem then barca. It's on the east side, just after Mossley. Probably do it in 20 mins in a car from the J23 of the M60 but not sure where the nearest station is. Sorry.

Hmmm, I've got a 15T lying around somewhere...
14 is just silly though - buy a bigger chainring.

HTH. 😉

AA route planer says it's 22 miles Rockit man so not that bad but not a very nice cycle route. Thanks anyway
15t it is then James. I reckon it's a whole world less pain to change the cog than the chainring. It's a 32 on the front (I think).

Champion Jon, I'll call in in the next day or two. I was going to call in anyway. I might need to book a bike in for some expert attention as well if I can, please?
Did you manage to fix Jenny up with a Kona on the Cycle Scheme?
