is this knackard?

Also....can you put a chain on the wrong way round?

Pete

Yes if you took it off in one piece (swing arm out) then you could put it back the wrong way, then all the wear is on the wrong bits.
Have you tried all these
chain alignment with a straight edge along the chain ?
tight spots
pulling the chain off the back of the sprocket (on slack spot and tight spot)
rear sprockets on the correct way around
the spacer behind front sprocket is still there

Watcha Mal,

was off in one piece.

have checked the alignment.
checked for tight spots.
pulled chain on back of the sprocket.
didnt take sprocket off.
not looked to see if spacer is there.

Does that sprocket look too worn?

Pete

Hard to tell mate. Shape looks ok but the edges look worn over, odd. Can't imagine that's your clunk tho'. More likely the chain itself now. Tbh, a new chain and sprocket set is probably the best option in the long run. Start saving....

Cheers Chris, looks like it doesnt it

Might get a fancy gold coloured one Sure everyone on here would like that eh

Any make better than others? Bearing in mind i do very little miles and dont ride fast

Pete

Are you coming down to wusseykat Pete ?, if you want a chain and sprocket kit I can get one for you, in gold of course Pm me if you want prices

Cheers Mal - will let you know. tbh i may get my mate to do it down the bike shop. Not in mood for mechanics at the moment. Got enough on my plate at the moment

Pete

The sprocket teeth look a bit like shark theeth, so yes, I'd replace the set.

well ya gotta aint ya
