Velouria Posted November 6, 2006 Share We went to Bonnivale with two guys doing the MTB race, and I reckon we (and our bikes) were dirtier than the mountain bikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canaris Posted November 6, 2006 Share Is that Shimano written on the thing, above sealed bearings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLegend Posted November 6, 2006 Share wuuhu, donkey, I guess the small cog wheel didn't like when you changed from 53-12 to 53-13 halfway up helshoogte...So Big Will should be in awe of you and fear for the team leader position. man, how you do that without eating dead animals? drunken some of landis' beers? the cog wheels are just some form of plastic and of course can break, even though i've never seen that. well done i'd say - make a necklace out of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtrider Posted November 6, 2006 Share Broke one at last years Noon 2 Moon race. Get BBB sealed bearing replacements . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linnega Posted November 6, 2006 Share Normally the jockey wheels become pointy before they crack, but it is possible for them to crack. You may find that the jumpy gearing caused the crack rather than the other way around. Check that you derailleur hangar is straight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big H Posted November 6, 2006 Share Konafan of course it can only be SRAM or SHIMANO, the kemppekkerniolia groupset was a total failure. Their products are not made to be as enduring and long lasting as Shimano. Donkie, was the litte wheel lubricated???? If not it can start seizing and that type of damage can occur. Replace them with sealed bearing aftermarket derrailleur wheels (BBB and other make them). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
