Sachs Torpedo / Komet Super

Posted by Bryn at May 24. 2009

Rode my Hampton today for the first time in ohhh... a year?

The Hampton has a Komet Super (otherwise known as a Sachs Torpedo), one of my favorite single speed coaster hubs.  Why do I like 'em?  Because the brake is about 2x the size of most other hubs and the hub shell has about 2x as much metal.  They can take a LOT of downhill before they get too hot.

That's all - just a random 'lil post.  Hope you liked it...
