Thread: Chain play

    Chain play

    Just replaced both rear axles and sprockets one from recreatives and the other from 6x6parts. They are both new, how come there is so much difference in adjustment when turning axles. Are the sprockets off center assuming axles are straight. Max iv

    There were different spacings by serial number and also axle lengths, if its under 1\4 you could space axle at inner bearing with set screw sprockets or shim sprocket. I'd check the axle lengths against originals. If the outside lines up you could re groove the axle or turn sprocket on axle and relocate set screw hole for chain alignment.


    My new beer holder spilled some on the trails - in it's hair and down it's throat.
    Joe Camel never does that.

    Advice is free, it's the application that costs.

    Alignment is fine it's the difference in slack when rotating axles.

    All I can think of is sprocket tolerances are poor.sprocket easily slid through all three bearings.

    For the price you pay for sprockets you would think one of the two manufacturer's could get it right.
