Ive decided! After my usual 10 mile commute home and almost taken-out 3 time by cars not seeing me, Ive decided I need a loud horn!! I had a head-on (overtaking on my side) and two pull-out on me today, the head-on was soooo close, I have to take invasive action! Luckily Id had a crap day at work so...

Always happy to bang on about diesel spills.

lol just found an old youtube from back in 06 on one of our rally. The good old days.

Sorry to hear about your bud, I hope he/she’s ok? Diesel spills are not so bad now days but you still get them. Always good to look out.

Love the cork idea, nice work. Got me thinking on a mount for my phone now. :thumbup: Well I like to do my bit. The cork was one of the rubberised ones so it didn’t break apart when it was drilled or compressed. Yellow tail Shiraz I think [emoji3] I had yellow tail last night [emoji1360] Sent from ...

I was over the moon Chris. [emoji6]

No mate, it was a standard one.

It'd be handy if you can measure and ID the defect with the symmetry of the sprocket - must be quite apparent to have an effect on the chain's tension. It was a big effect on tension, but I was unable to measure any discrepancies with the tools I have. It is very odd! The fact a new sprocket sorted...

thanks

They didn't want it back. they're going to talk to Renthal (I don't know if they really will or not), Ive said, it's here if they need me to send it back. They have my details.

Had a chat with the guys i got it from, and told them about my findings. They was equally surprised as i was about the front sprocket, and not had any reports of the same problem from Renthal sprockets. After a chat about what i had done they was happy to refund me the new sprocket. They seem like g...

CONCLUSION at last! Again, I was up early today and made the best of an impromptu day off work, I bought a new Afam front sprocket locally and fitted it. The joy! The tight spots has gone, other then a one very slight one from the rear sprocket, which I adjusted and now happy with the chain slack. j...

I re-measured the sprocket again last night and I could not find anything wrong with it. I’m buying another make sprocket tomorrow, if the issue is still there with the new one then I’ll need to rethink. Though I’ve been over thinking this all weekend!

I also was trying to think of a way in which you could check the front sprocket for it being out. My way of thinking from what you are experiencing must mean the teeth (or at least one of them) are not evenly spaced. So with that theory in mind, you could try wrapping the chain around the front spr...

I did measured the diameter at 90 degrees and it was out by 0.2mm, but my digital vernier calipers are not great. I’ve not checked how flat it is, I’ll have I look, thanks.
