Clueless in most things
When I pull away then is almost a clonk that the best way I can describe it is, it's almost like the bike is taking up the slack before being solid so the drive forward can start, it's not a big one but an annoying one.
I've checked the chain adjustment, cush drives, all okay, the rear sprocket is okay so that only leaves the front. I saw a you tube video today that showed some after market kits have the front sprocket teeth too small so causes excess play and the "take up" I mentioned so that is the area I will look at next.
The chain and sprockets are d.i.d, I use a scottoiler and the chain has at least two clicks left on the chain adjustment guide. It was last replaced in 2010 at 24,450 miles and the mileage now is 48,845
Is it possible that a front sprocket will need replacing before the chain and rear sprocket do ? The slack then clonk is annoying.
