Does anyone have a size 17, 18, or 19t cog that they'd live to trade for my 15?
Or just "donate" to me????
I need to lower my ratio desperately. I don't want to turn into Xena!
Please call me:

why would someone's life-long ambition be to trade you something?

if youre confusing cogs and chainrings and sprockets, you should stick to computer stuff and leave the bike stuff to the professionals.

sorry man... i'm not confused
a cog is actually the tooth of a gear. normal bikes do not have true gears on them... only sprockets
just because you and many others may have been misusing words doesn't make it correct. no worries.

a sprocket is found on one piece cranks on bmx bikes and beach cruisers. they attach to the crank arm and cant be easily removed or changed out.
a chainring attaches to the spider of the crank arm on road, mtb, and track bikes. it attaching to the spider and not directly to the crank arm makes it easier to swap out.
the "tooth of a gear" is simply called the tooth, or teeth. its what the chain grabs onto.
a cog is a single gear that attaches to the rear wheel. multiple gears are called cassettes.
your blatant ignorance when it comes to general bicycle knowledge will not pass as trolling, or whatever you think youre doing.

wrong again Snowcog...
A "dime" is actually a type of currency, dontating ten cents.
A "dime" is a girl snowcone has never been with
Both are correct.
Cycling has its own lingo... take heed... or we can use your so precise and succinct mastery of the English language... such as "normal bikes".

Cog
Popular term for a rear sprocket. Sometimes incorrectly used as a synonym for cluster, which is actually a group of cogs.
Originally, "cog" referred to just a single tooth on a "cog wheel." Then "cog wheel" was shortened by popular usage to "cog."
Sprocket
A toothed wheel or gear that is part of a chain drive.
The front sprockets are also commonly called chainwheels or chainrings. The term "sprocket" is perfectly correct to refer to either front or rear, but use most adult cyclists use this term mainly to refer to the rear sprockets. The use of "sprocket" to refer specifically to a chainwheel is mainly confined to BMX usage.
The rear sprockets individually are also commonly called cogs or gears; as a group they are referred to as a block, cassette, cluster or freewheel.
