roflmao....post of the month...funny stuff.

27 post above mine is correct....just a suggestion, have your girl sit on the bike holding the brake and hit the sprocket with an impact......the vibes from this process can produce good results.

Funny,.......... but risky.
That is worlds colliding, and should be avoided.

The nut that holds the sprocket on is 27mm. same as the right rear axel. The spanner in the tool kit that came with the bike fits perfect.

Great idea Buff, I'll try that one when I get home. I couldn't get it off before I went riding over the weekend, so I had to use stock gearing. I can't wait to get the new sprocket on. I'll let you know if it works.
