Matt, still going to argue that the chains aren't too tight?
Sigh. I tried.
These sprockets are in no way faulty, we absolutely abused them beyond reasonable, with chain tension so high the chain actually made a "sproing" sound when plucked, no lubrication at all on dirty, used chain, and a very small diameter (15T) coming off the ball shifter (very high power transmission with about 90 degrees of wrap).
On Team 1676, the adult mentors advise and sometimes cajole, but we don't overrule a student decision (except for safety). Maybe there's some education that happened here. Finally.
sheesh.
Learn the theory in the classroom and pick up the practical through clubs (FIRST, mini Baja, SAE)... you really need the scale balanced in the middle - Greg Needel [more]
