Hello guys,
I have had an issue with newer sprockets "bouncing" on the hub. I cant tell if it's in the stamped gear, or in the hub. I have also had a theory that a single lock bolt hub doesnt seat straight on the axle. But I haven't been able to test it. The hub is tight sliding on the axle so the bolt "shouldn't" make a difference. Heres the problem.
I can mount a new hub and sprocket, set the chain and the chain runs smooth. After a race, or even just hot laps, I can check the chain and it will be tight on one side, and loose on the other, like the sprocket is off center of the axle. It will normally wobble slightly also. So I have to reset everything, but, if it does it during the race its has to be hurting the overall performance. It's been very frustrating trying to figure out. Any ideas?
