BMX single gear sprockets will fit onto a Shimano splined freehub. It should run reasonably quiet, but if you have a derailleur in the mix to maintain tension, it's not going to run silently. Also, if the chain has been degreased and is a bit dry, it can tend to clatter a bit.
One thing I do is bring it up to speed in the stand and watch how it releases from the front chainring and rear sprocket. Wear on the teeth will tend to make the chain release later, which seems to increase noise. hope that helps! - J On Monday, February 10, 2014 8:22:20 AM UTC-8, Philip Williamson wrote: > > The term "track cog" baffled me.
