Seized Front Sprocket.

Is someone going to make a mantelpiece ornament out of the remains?

 

It'll need an urn......

 

The suspense is killing me. What’s happened to it?

 

No.

*Transmission*, not suspension. Read the thread!

 

And............








Is it off yet?

 

He could buy a replacement bike to fit the chain and sprockets to

 

He has had to drive 3.5 hours to Cork to get more cutting discs...

 

And buy an hydraulic puller

 

Any plant/ hgv or bus garage will have a hyd pullers. I'm sure they would lone for a few hours or even come take it of for a few beers. None close by?

 

He cant ride there now to pick one up..

 

Defo don't go battering at it with hammer and chisel or you will end up with a long term disaster

 

He already has one.

 

At least the weather looks good.

 

Paul, no schadenfreude intended, but this thread is brilliant! I know it's no fun for you but boy is it entertaining us!
Better luck on Thursday (or your next attempt).
PS
Have you thought of having the offending sprocket mounted and presented annually to the "best" mechanical fail. It could be called something like "The Buggered Phillips Trophy". Just a thought.......

 

i dont know if its been posted already, but you can refit the chain and leave the sprocket loose, a short ride and few hard blips on the throttle will loosen it.

 

We already have an Angle Grinder trophy associated with someone on here

 

Is it morning yet?

 

No. it's not night yet

 

Then the chain wipes out the crankcase
