What would cause premature sprocket wear? I just got a new sprocket about 7k miles ago and it seems to be wearing fast.. I felt a skip on my way to work this morning and thought the chain might be loose. Looked at it when i got to work and it looks like it's the sprocket wearing down. What gives?

Well, a worn chain will certainly accelerate sprocket wear. Poor wheel alignment won't help, either.

Hey Dale, If you 'old' sprocket was 'worn out' (sprocket wear is caused by a worn/stretched chain) and you didn't replace the chain... well, there's the 'rub' that caused rapid wear of the 'new' sprocket. Phil - A15 Live Oak, FL

I replaced the chain and sprocket.

Hi Dale, Just a few thoughts. Poor alignment. Poor adjustment. Soft sprocket material (Poor quality control) I do not consider 7k rapid wear if you ride hard. Thought about a Sidewinder, should last forever?! I am looking at mine after 5K, don't think it will last much longer, but I tend to er on changing early. Regards Brian A14 D17

Attachments :If you preset your scanner at 72dpi (or ppi) and size them 4 to 5" on the longest side before scanning them, you can save them as medium quality jpg's and they will be 30k to 100k each, and still look pretty good. I never have liked what gif does to a picture, and sometimes the crap resulting from converting to gif is larger than a jpg would be. BIERDO

JPG's are 500k each. If I save in GIF and decrease the colour depth, I get white dots all over my pics, but the filesize if slightly more manageable. I've got about 20+ pics picked out to scan, but that's a 10 meg download if someone is gonna sit and view them all. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks! Karl
