Had a short ride around the local roads tonight(about 20 mins) just to put some time on the motor and it does seem to be very smooth and fairly punchy :dry: although I did’nt really give it much ,

A flash around Kenilworth on sunday should tell us

New brake pads on the RMX and bought some new tyres but too lazy to fit them. Think I might take it out tomorrow and give the old tyres one last run.

Yeah your right Dr Axle, one more lap is never a good idea :pinch: I learnt that the hard way :unsure:

New brake pads last week.
Been looking at the chain and sprockets and not sure exactly when to replace them…..
Bike has 1700km on it, so how far does everyone else get out of a set of chain and sprockets?

Still running the rear tyre Murph 😆 hope to get another ride out of that(Murph sold my a tyre before he left,4 rides on….9.5mm tread left)

chain and sprocket responces thanks……oh of gentle forest trail riding 😆 😆

[alanMember]

just replace them when there fu(t dude reckon you will no when that is.just put a new insert in the rear subframe to hold the numberplate holder thing on and waiting on a starter motor to turn up :S

when teeth start pingin off

put the spare front in yr camelbak, rear in your car

I did nothin on my bike

Hangon i never do anything

[AlexMember]

No that’s a real bad idea Bob. That’s what happened at that BD ride 2011 to me. I had to get towed back to camp by a HONDA!!
The old well known sign of wear was lifting the chain off the rear sprocket. If it lifts more than halfway off the teeth it’s shagged. Looking at the front sprocky, thin teeth, curved teeth, very wide gap between teeth – all bad. Many riders replace 1 front for every rear and chain as they wear (visibly) quicker than the rear.

just keep an eye on how the joining link is wearing, that was the reason my son Tom’s chain snapped and went through the case :ohmy:

The chain can be run for a while even if it’s not in great condition,but it’s not the best thing to do :unsure:

[Jeffrey SmithMember]

+1 on the joining link.

Last time I fitted a new chain I noticed that I only had half of the circlip left holding the joiner together, hte other half had wornaway
