Hey guys I was prepping my ride with the general maintenance ,ie safety checks ,bearing greasing and adjustments and such .
I got to the back wheel and noticed something strange being quite considerable wear to my 32t sprocket ,granted it's done over 1000 km by now but the wear is quite bad and many of the teeth have worn down to be 3 to4 mm ,it's not causing any issues for now but I'm sure I will eventually lose a few teeth causing the entire drive train to be compromised.
I always keep my chain at a minimum 1/4 slack and well oiled and maintained but this baffles me as to why it has so much wear on it and what I can do to negate this issue when I replace the sprocket with a 39 t ( the 32 is ever so slightly tall for a chinagirl IMHO
So the questions ,why so much wear ? Is it a cheap made sprocket ? Is it because I tow a trailer daily ? And what can I do to avoid this in the future ?
Regards Hen
