I know everyone will chime in and say it shouldn't make a difference, but I've been running a 10 tooth for the past eight years or so and I can't stand running the 9 tooth. It puts way too much pressure on the chain (being that the rear cog pulls so hard on the rear wheel) and it's impossible to get the chain alignment right without a half link, also rendering the whole rear setup weaker.
9 tooth + half link= going over handle bars.
I love 10-27 gearing and feel much more comfortable knowing that I'm not putting 500-plus pounds of pressure on the smallest point of my rear cog every time I pedal uphill.

I would like to 2nd this request.
I doubt Odyssey will do it, but I would love it so I can do 25/10 on my cruiser.

unless 10t suddenly replaced 9t as an industry standard i would say not.
good luck persuading them theres enough demand for a small run as well, they learnt their lesson when bg pushed for 20" sunday frames and they had to sell them all off for peanuts on their website

Kind of make it sound like all 9t need half links. Depends on what CS length you are running.

Let's not forget the 48h Ratchets and Ribcages!

Thanks to BG I have a 48h GSport wheel that I paid 99 bucks for, and I've got a Sunday 2nd Wave that I picked up dirt cheap.

i paid almost full price for mine 120 quid for the hub but its still on my bike now so got my moneys worth. that was a helllllll of a deal though, full 48 gsport wheel for 100 bucks

I would kill for a 48h ratchet shell, even emailed around to get one made but to no avail. If anyone can put me in contact i would really appreciate it.

i think the people who have em will most likely be holding onto them. theyll be worth a fair bit in 15 years time when were all 40+ year old men trying to buy back our childhood, and we just need a 48h ratchet to finish off our bg tribute builds

Tell me about it its like finding rocking horse shit. im willing to pay a fair price and even have a brand new freecoaster wheel to trade as i know they are basically currency right now. If you know anyone or anyone who would have a dab at making one id be eternally grateful.
