That would be great but I’m not sure the gain would warrant the significant outlay. My bike is running pretty well (currently) with just a minor hesitation around 3k, when moving slowly in that rev range, not when accelerating through.
I have a polished sprocket on my CR which will need replacing at some point (13k miles) so I'm thinking that as the back of the sprocket and inside the cutouts are difficult to clean get black and just polish up the outside.....
Hello Voodoo , I am running a polished 50T rear now . This was from Donington Norton and you correctly stated these had the anodizing polished off. I bought 2 of them at the time with 50T . These cost more than black because of polishing time of course. If you are willing to pay me what I have into it plus shipping I will ship it to you. Just PM me if you want it , and it will look better on your Domi than my sport for sure...
Message sent Tony. Thank you.
I can't reply to your message , it says closed to replies ?
My chain was worn out before the sprocket did . I don't know how people are getting 20,000 miles on them ? Maybe with a Scotoiler ? Mine was gone in 16K miles .
Yep my Chain & front sprocket changed at 16k ,along with another rear sprocket previously replaced at 9k , also brake pads all round at 16k
Personally, my mechanical sympathy would urge me to raise, not lower, the gearing. And considering how you cherish your P&J… and the lack of spares availability currently… I’d personally urge a re think.
Happy with that input FE. As I mentioned above the additional wear and tear is a concern, although I have no doubt that I would use the increased revs. Don’t think there are any 17t left, so happy that I’ve bought it (although no sign of it yet) - it was now or never. I will decide when to use it; hadn’t really factored in the lack of other spares that may be required given the bike will be getting a harder time.
Pride & Joy !
