Re: [ST] Sprockets and Chain Maintenance

[Colt4530 <colt4530@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

O.K., I ordered a 17 tooth front sprocket from my Triumph dealer.  It 
was $64.95 minus my smile induced discount.  It better have some sort of 
rubber damper for that price.  My bunch is sort of clueless and I ended 
up asking what sprocket is on a 955i Daytona.  It was a 17 tooth!  They 
apparently have 17/42 cogsets.

I also ordered a pair of Bohn Armor shorts to wear under my jeans.  Men 
don't wear leather pants in Tennessee!  :-)  My birthday is in a few 
days.  With luck, the wife bought an armored bike jacket I hinted for. 
I'll be all set!  Can't let my record get ruined by using all that 
armor, though.

Go with the 17 tooth, you won't regret it - unless you plan to do some 
long distance high-speed cruising. I went to the 17 tooth front sprocket 
about 6000 miles ago. Very happy with it.  Makes the bike a lot more 
manageable in city traffic, so I don't have to be slipping the clutch so 
much.
