    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...

    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.

Warped sprocket?

So I've never adjusted my 82 750t chain as it was within spec and looked good but noticed it's gotten a little loose with about 1.5" of slack so I went to adjust it, however I noticed that the adjuster in the left side was turned in further than on the right. When turned them in enough to get the chain down to 1" of slack and lined them both up with the same reference mark, now the chain binds for about 1/4 of the wheels rotation.

I can get it to not bind but only if one side is turned in significantly further than the other side. Should I just do that and call it good or is something warped or bent and needs replaced? Any tips for getting perfect alignment between the rear sprocket and chain when adjusting slack? Thanks!
 
I've never aligned my wheels, but there are numerous methods (to be described here shortly unless I miss my guess) ranging from lasers to pieces of string.

But once I was no longer a broke college student, there is one rule I have practiced religiously: when the chain or either sprocket needs replacement, all three are replaced simultaneously.
 
Aligned properly and messed up, then misaligned and all is good??? Pretty odd, wouldn't you think? Would think tight spot in chain, but misaligning the wheel wouldn't fix that... I have no clue but hope we learn what's happening.
