I had over 4000Km’s out of my front sprocket too. Pretty impressive. The only reason my rear was so bad was beacuse the chain rollers disintegrated and wore the rear sprocket and 20 times the normal rate. She would have been good for another couple of thousend K’s otherwise :laugh:

That’s what I was saying before regarding to chains to a hardened sprocket.

Maintenance will help you in the future Moto

Has it fronted yet Menace?

Yeah sorry S/T like blue said I should have included that, there is also a point when your chain on a hard steel sprocket like a chain gang will start to cause problems and if you change it you will increase the life of your sprocket

Like TB Stated rear sprocket and chain at same time, or the new chain will stretch to old sprocket or new sprocket will create disharmony until worn.

I have two mated sets, X’ring DIDs and good steel sprockets, same for my last big roadie and it’s still on the same two sets after 70K and 17 years.

Alloy Sprockets IMHO look good and that’s all they are good for, although sidewinders had a good run for a little while in MX, but still wore out relatively quick, and took the chain with them.

BC

Last Alloy I ran was a Talon and it lastest around 500 to 550 kms and I tried a Renthal and it was unserviceable after 500kms also, both I still have them both:blink: , neither cheap and supposed to be quality for their market.

The Chain Gang has done over 3000kms and showing no signs of any wear, the Stealth has be used on and of with its chain set since and including the 4 day in 2006, so no comlaints here as far as steel go

I for one am not going :ohmy: if Mick is going do a dog act and back flip and go back on his word and not ride in the same class as everybody else. He has given his word as has Moose is partner, Moose is good still but the hot news I have is Mick is looking go back on his word :angry:

If Mick stays good to his word I am good to go and will organise some sponsorship for the maiden OBT race assault (sorry Rocket)

[GregMember]

Thanks Boulder, thats great news I have both a chain gang and a stealth and think the chain gang is better but there isn’t much in it

And they are Australian made and owned, support Australia

http://www.obtrailriders.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&Itemid=56&func=view&catid=51&id=18276#26800

There are a few things for you to know and not be like our moderator thats going that was asking questions the other day and then told me he hadn’t read much about the ride. He shall remain nameless :laugh:

Any questions please ask me asap

Thanks

[GregMember]

Think it was Champo who told me Chain Gang dont do sprockets anymore, cant confirm, will be sad if its true cause its good gear.

I agree with Ollie regarding the sprockets, but rear sprockets should always replaced with the chain, if the sprocket is worn then the chain is worn and if you put a new sprocket with a worn chain it will only wear it very fast.
