530 front sprocket problems
Posted: Sun Oct 14, 2007 12:48 pm
Trying to sort the 530 chain & sprockets out on the Saxon Turbo but it's doing me head in.
At the moment it has a 19 tooth front sprocket on, but;
1. I've run out of adjustment (Rickman frame)
2. It seems to be dished outboard too much (7mm offset)
3. I reckon it'll be way overgeared, especially with a 38 tooth rear sprocket
The chain is quite a chunky bugger being the 'X'-ring type aswell.
So all you guys, is there an 18 tooth, 530 sprocket available, off the shelf, with a smaller offset. I reckon if it had no offset, the chain might touch the inner chain cover, if not it'll be damn close.
Thanks as always, Will
