Not glamorous, but durable.
This isn't the lightest, or blingiest, or most expensive (or even least expensive) SS cog you can get, but it is durable, and it does get the job done. I wore one of these out, and replaced it with something that was supposed to be better, but that cog proceeded to fold on me while going through a technical rock section. So I'm back to one of these, and if it lasts the 800 miles or so the last one of these did, it will continue to be a great value.

Works perfect with common shimano chains
Used this for a 9sp to single speed conversion and it is designed for 3/32 size chain. Works great.

Origin8 always comes through
Time and time again I find myself buying origin8 parts for my mountain bikes. Set this up SS and it works flawlessly

Nice design. Smooth looking.
The best part of this cog is the wide base. Not only engages better on the free hub but also prevents tearing the splines. At the same time, it isn't gonna move sideways compromising the flimsy spacers. Here I mixed some aluminum and steel ones. The cog is fixed in place with a regular Shimano lockring. Steel is always better to keep things where it should.

Strong steel cog for your SS conversion!
I bought this SS cog so I could run a deore freehub wheelset on my single speed '85 Rockhopper street bike. I figured, for the money, it would be just ok. I've run it for a few months and I'm very pleased with the strength and quality of the steel. Between the wide base and the tall teeth, it works much better than a conventional cog. I highly recommend it for people that are looking for strong single speed parts and don't wanna spend a ton of cash on name brands.

Somewhat Durable, but not a good design
So.. this cog is about the cheapest stainless cog you can find. That’s about all that’s good about it. It’s extremely thin and it’s stamped, not machined. The foot or base of the cog is formed completely off to the side of the cog. The ones I have are slightly rounded where this material has been pushed out, all the contact of the cog to freehub is offset to the side so it sideloads badly. It can flex under load. On a Singlespeed-specific steel driver it worked ok, but on a standard aluminum freehub body this is a problem. I’ve had it drop chains because of this and now it’s starting to bend, I’m gonna throw another cog on here before I hurt myself.

Meehh
Looks good but does not perform well, I dropped the chain on 4 occasions in a cyclocross race under different circumstances.Needs to be made with taller teath and beafier material
