this saturday i went out for a ride with my buds down the street at a local cranberry bog. before I left I knew that my front sproket was terribly worn out with only about 5 teeth left and my chain was on the way out the door, but i just couldnt wait till next weekend for my parts to come so i went out riding anyway. while i was out the sproket got the rest of its teeth ripped off but i still luckily made it home and my chain is now complete junk and to top it all off when i was pushin her back into my shed i heard this big ugly crack. i pushed it again to try to find were it came from and it craked again, my entire lower right shock mount had cracked and broken off all around the weld. i will be getting my new chain and sproket on friday and the mount is being welded in metal fab tomoro in school. I am just glad that the mount gave way while i was pushing into my shed and not on the landing to the 20' tabletop i was hitting rite before i came home.

 

You went riding with only 5 teeth left on your front sprocket?!?! Wow, your lucky nothing else happened, thats crazy.

 

ya it was pretty dumb but the bog is rite across the street and i couldnt just watch my friends ride around, i figured the worst that could happen would it would completely strip out [wich it did] and then id just push it 100' home. but lukily when it stripped i was level with the srteet and i just putted home in first with no slippage of the sproket[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

dumb, but worth the ride

 

where in MA. do you live?

 

Your shock probably did break while jumping. Never seen a procket with only 5 teeth. Usually they seem to just melt away.

 

i live in kingston, and it wasnt the shock that broke it was the mount that the shock bolts to on the lower a arm
