"Like the BOX Harmonic hub cassette bodies, we make the cogs to Shimano’s precise specifications, which means they have tighter tolerances than some others on the market. Tighter tolerances mean they have a more precise fit on Shimano-compatible cassette bodies with less wobble and slop,” said Michael Gamstetter, BOX’s senior brand manager.
Both alloy and chromoly cogs have a 5-millimeter wide inner base, giving them a more solid interface with the cassette body.
The alloy cogs are anodized black with laser-etched graphics. The chromoly cogs are electro plated black with laser-etched logos.
Pinion cogs have a suggested retail price of $29 for both chromoly and alloy.
BOX Components, makers of high-performance BMX and mountain bike components, now offers two ranges of single-speed cassette hub cogs, one CNC-machined from long-wearing 7075-T6 aluminum alloy and the second CNC-machined from chromoly. Called Pinion, the 3/32” cogs are available in 13-18-tooth sizes. Both types are designed to fit Shimano-compatible cassette hubs.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
