    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 Flip

I am due for a new chain, as the old one is unevenly stretched. I am wondering if it is alright to flip the sprockets in order to get the oppisite side of the teeth to wear on the new chain? The sprockets seem to be the same on either side, and one side of the tooth is going to be worn while the other side will stay pretty much new right? TIA!
 
I wanted to do the same thing a few years ago and my mechanic said it was a bad idea and that it would eat the new chain right up. I forgot what the reason was but it was something to the affect that the wear on the teeth is not one sided and that they actually get slightly bent. I believe that is what it was? I am not 100% on the reasoning but I do remember for sure him saying it was a bad idea and that I should just get new sprockets.
