Good enough for me. Generic cog. Fits and works properly.

Metal on this one likely to rust.

Good for low end build as a money saver, or while you are experimenting with what final size you want to use.

Number of teeth not stamped in it. No biggie except every time you look through your cogs to find x teeth you'll have to count the teeth.

Good looking product, came in good timing with original packaging. Doesn't look out of whack...overall integrity of the product is good, confident that the product will do what its supposed to do.

I got this to put on my new single speed with a flip flop hub in the interest of trying out fixed gear riding. I rode my bike with this cog for not quite a full year and for around 400 miles. While it's still got life in it, there is considerable wear. The chain was new and I have kept it properly lubricated, but I will probably go for a higher tier cog the next time around.

These would be great if you wanted a couple to try out different ratios or if you only want that ratio for a couple rides (like if you bring your bike along on a vacation to a place flatter or more hilly than you're used to).
