McLovin Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 So, I took my tire off and found that when I removed the sprocket, all of the little rubber dampers were severed....anyone know why this happened? or if it's important that they are connected? or suggestions of what to do about this?

RC51 John Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Stops metal on metal contact between the sprocket and the wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd#43 Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 As long as you still have all the pieces, it doesn't matter if they are connected or not. They'll still function fine, just easier to lose one when you're changing tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That bridge that is broken is to overlap the sprocket carrier and essentially keep it one piece instead of two.Next time, spray a little WD40 on the rubbers and place the carrier back on. Make special note to not loose the spacer usually found on the underside of the carrier that goes up against the wheel...Don't waste the money buying new ones...
