Andy was teasing me about some gnarly shit he was going to have photographed soon but I wasn't expecting anything like these mid 90's Sugino 75 discs- SO RAD!!!
I totally had him put me down for one. I mean come on! How can you say no??
They're still on the hunt for some sort of proper track conversion kit. But if you get one of those freewheel track adapters and a little J&B Weld the shit works just as lovely. That's what I did with the HED rear wheel on my Jackson. I mean, yeah, the thing is stuck as a tarck wheel. So you're technically 'ruining' it since you can't go back. But who the hell wants to ride 6-7 speed anyways??

You don't need a lockring when you are riding on the track...
No doubt, but you do if you plan on trashing the shit out of it in dem mufukin' harsh ass mufuckin' streets suhyn. b. yo. money..
Sweet.
I was picture Google-ing the shit out of these just the other day, without finding one good pic.
It looks sooo good!
God damnit you're going to fuck up my financials if you keep posting shit like this. What are these track adapters you speak of, and would you trust riding this thing if you just jbwelded it?
Andrew - If you can find yourself a freewheel track adapter, you just JB Weld the shit out of ALL the threads and then screw it on nice and tight. Wait a few days or so for it to be super duper dry. Then you're totally good to go. I mean, I did that with my HED3 rear wheel and the shit worked totally fine. Rode it about 40 miles or so brakeless without any issues..
