sprocket? mishap?

Post by Fred Hink » Mon Apr 01, 2013 11:01 am

Ah HA. Makes sense but still a sprocket shouldn t break. I have seen lots of damaged sprockets with teeth bent over or missing but I never seen a sprocket break off.

Front sprockets are usually quite hard steel. Sounds like it shattered somehow.

Attached is the (sideways) Picture of the eaten away front sprocket. He was lucky, he did NOT go down when the rear LOCKED UP. n Tue, 4/2/13, Dan Nyhof wrote: From: Dan Nyhof Subject: Geoff KLR To: "nomad59@..."
