--part1_11f.3a8c3c3.28b8cc11_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I have a KHS Flite 100. I went to buy a new Cog for the rear wheel and now am in a state of confusion. I went to the bike shop and bought a new cog, when I went to install it I found that the Original Cog has left hand threads. The new one has Right Hand threads. The opposite side of the of the Original Hub has Right Hand threads so I can fit the new Cog on that side of the hub but I can not find a Right Hand thread lock ring anywhere. I know that while pedaling this will pose no problem but what about when I put resistance onto the pedals to slow down? IS the new Cog an Abberation or is this the way it should be? Should I return it and find the corrrect Left hand threaded cog or is the Right Hand OK? Thanks --part1_11f.3a8c3c3.28b8cc11_boundary Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <HTML> <FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2>I have a KHS Flite 100.
