Ari Prolongs XX1 Cassette Life With Repacement Cogs & Lower Gears

Like their larger cogs for a 10 speed setup this looks very cool, but again – there is no way to actually order from this link. Anyone else find a ‘place order’ button?

if you need a lower gear than a 42t maybe you should stick to 2x .

I did a search a while back looking for a way to order their 38 tooth or 40 tooth cog, I can’t remember the details right now. I could not find any place on the net, in any language, to order their products.

Wow – a 30T ring matched to a 44T low on the cassette is equivalent to an old fashion 22T granny ring on the old low of 32T on the cassette. Can’t really complain that x1 doesn’t go low enough anymore.

@ayyggss – i strongly disagree. Although the 1x might have been introduced/designed for racers, nowadays you can easily use 26t narrow wide rings (and i even found a guy producing 22t) – so if you give up on the low side of the range, you can happily ride 1x 22×44 on the high end.

Here is the order page… http://www.aribike.it/Moduli/order.htm It’s under the Contatti – Aquistti tab. Hope that helps.

@clarence,

I kind of wonder the same thing. On a single speed, semi/equivalent gears that utilize a smaller rear cog (IE 32×16 vs a 36×18), seem like there is more drag in the drive train. Other people have said the same thing. Gerry Phlug (SS monster) says he always tries to run a much bigger/more tooth count setup for NUE races for this very reason. Maybe with a derailleur, its taking some of that tightness out of the equation since the chain isn’t rapping all the way around the cog like in SS setups?

I just received a 42t replacement cog from ARI. I did not use the website. I emailed them and they gave me an address tha I could send payment to via paypal…no problem. There was good communication from them as well. It came very fast when shipped. Slight delay in getting it in the mail. It took a little effort to fit the cog on the xd1 driver. However it seems to work great once I got it on. I feel like I have a brand new cassette. One thing to note: I had trouble with the spacer. I somehow damaged one of the spacers during install so I tried to install without the spacer. This seemed OK but the the free hub was not as free. Luckily the spacer is identicle in dimensions to a bottom bracket spacer( have to find the correct thickness though). Once I reinstalled with correct spacing everything works fine. I am stoked that I don’t have to spend a few hundred on a new cassette.
