Well, it seems that I don't only procrastinate on blogging...
On its last outing Geoff noticed a wee issue with the RMX.
This is it after the ride. I bet it wasn't quite as bad earlier in the ride but would have been wearing pretty fast. I could have kicked myself - I checked the chain tension before loading the bike up and failed to look at the sprocket.
Anyway, I made it back to the ute ok and got a couple of sprockets and a chain ordered. Then it was time to spanner.
The front sprocket was actually pretty easy (especially compared to the drama I had with the T7) as it is just a circlip holding it on. I should get some circlip pliers at some stage though...
Getting the chain off was pretty easy too. I got to finally use my $7 Aliexpress chain breaker too and it worked a treat.
Chain off, it was then time to whip the wheel out and change the rear sprocket. Once again this was pretty easy and the wheel was soon back on the new chain fed over the shiny new sprockets.
I quick ride up the road to check things out and the job was done. Nice to have got rid of the traction control system...
Anyone want some lightly used sprockets and chain?
