sprockets chains and cush...oh my!

[chrisjp]

plenty of grease..sorry out of sequence

 

[chrisjp]

now i grabbed a flat head bolt that was same thread as the open bolt on right of chain breaker to make for a rest for back of pins and switched to the grey pin to use as i staked them to correct size of .210-.230

 

[chrisjp]

i lubricated the adjusting bolts and semi adjusted for the chain before letting the bike down. then while on kick stand i finnalized measurment of slack .800-1.2 and then retighted axel nut to 72.5 ft-lbs and 45ft-lbs for the 14mm nut for the rear break piviot..... took her for a little ride!! i will be takeing her to work tomorrow and let you know how the 16/42 gearing set up feels for me

 

[chrisjp]

Nice work Chris!!
Do you or anyone else know how often you should replace the cush drive rubbers??? I've owned other bikes in the past and never thought to replace these before??
