So im thinking i may need a new Chain & Sprockets for this

season. I bought the bike used at...11k miles on it & i put...3k

miles on last summer.

From my understanding, this isn't alot of miles for a stock

chain but IMO my sprockets look chewed up & the chain seems

stretched out.

Here is what im looking at buying...

Figured out how to add Pics to my posts...

Sprocket



Chain Slack

 

Chain adjuster position doesn't mean jack.

Your rear sprocket looks worn but a straight on side view reveals more.

 

To me that sprocket is gone. I can only assume from the heavy lateral shaving of the rear sprocket, the chain was not adjusted correctly. So why not start fresh like you are thinking.

I love my supersprox and DID setups. Just something to check out.

Double check your hub cushions for excess slack while you are in there.

 

As far as the chain goes, i know i have to adjust the slack. Its got about an 1" of play in it. & last season, a large friend of mine (350+lbs) rode the bike & I could hear the chain slap as he bounced along the road.
The sprockets still have flats on each tooth but IMO the sides DO look worn. Maybe i should bight the bullet & get a new set just for peace of mine.

 

To me, there would be no maybe's after looking at that sprocket pic.
