    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Sprocket Cover

Wow, so took off the sprocket cover today and discovered a wealth of what I can best describe as mud/goop/grime encrusted in the interior of the cover. I was about to scrape it all out...but found a somewhat spongy material underneath.

Is that 30yrs of grime congealed into some weird mass? Or was the bike built with some kind of foamy material inside of the cover?

I'm likely to get one of those modern sprocket covers anyhow (you know with the drilled holes / exposed slots...).

Anyhow, this is what I found inside the cover...YUCK.

There's sound deadening foam in lots of covers.IIRC yours is one of them.
 
If I'm to go the route of buying an "exposed" sprocket cover...can I poach one from a particular bike? Do I just need to fabricate my own? Or are there some enterprising folks out there who do cafe racer sprocket covers?
