Anyone had problems with rvl gears ? Sold sum to a guy & he's complaining because they don't line right up & u have to pinch them together to close the gap so the chain won't jump.......Any ideas ?
I would think if you bought the gears, hub and axle from the same manufacture, you could expect the gears to seat perfectly and go out and race.
I use to spend maybe an hour or so with each set to make them mount perfectly. Sometimes the holes need adjusted to make them fit right, sometimes the center needs opened up and sometimes there may be slight manufacturing burs where the two halves meet. If you don't take the time to make them exactly right then you get into the thing where the chain doesn't run perfect. You all know how it can get tighter then loose and it always makes you wonder if your chain is binding or something else is out of round. My experience is it's usually something else is out of round and the thing that's out of round it the gear because of how it's mounted to the hub. A quality half round file and a rat tail file should be required tools in everyone's tool box. They can fix a lot of stuff.
By the way IMHO, if the chain is good, the gears run true and the engine is mounted square to the axle, there's no reason for a chain guard unless your driver hits something or gets hit. My driver never hit anything and ya can't hit what ya can't catch. ...
