Whatcha think - new sprocket?

[swee'pea99]

Or good for a few miles yet?

(Is it just me or are some of those teeth looking a bit 'shark's fin'?)

 

[MossCommuter]

If said shark is completely submerged

I would probably focus on the state of your garden furniture.

That looks knackered to me

I'm assuming that the missing tops of the teeth all broke off at the same time because I can't imagine how you could ride the bike long enough to gradually wear them down to that state!

The standard answer to any such remark in our house (like "I've got a quarter tank of diesel - reckon that's enough?" or "But I've only got a fiver, Dad") is "you'll get to Minehead on that!" so by that measure, it's good for at least 220 miles.

Looks fine to me. Just a bit dirty.

I'd be more worried about that spoke that's hooked over the tooth at 20-past.

 

[Cheddar George]

That's the Shane MacGowan of sprockets.

Those spokes need a bit of a spring clean

When I was a lad you were lucky to have teeth on your sprocket....

That's defeatist talk!

Er, nope. It's been getting a bit clunky going up hills lately, so I ended up taking the wheel off for a proper look. (I had looked a couple of times previously, but I'm assuming that by pure chance it was the 'good' teeth that were showing.)

 

[Biff600]

Barely 'run-in' !!

 

[biggs682]

They are worse than my teeth

I wouldn't ride it like that, I'd be worried about the chain flying off.

Chain's so slack I can't see it
