Received new front sprocket,, Whats with the 1/4 in offser
08/13/18 9:38 PM

Just received a 16 t front sprocket from SuperSprox.
It has a 1/4 inch offset... Why would they send this, the oem is not offset. Will it be ok on my bike with a 41 t SuperSprox Stealth rear..
Their website says this is needed for 240 rear conversion tire kit.

kinda make sense, without really knowing. The 240 is wider to the point on the new rear sprocket is offset some distance and to help keep the chain straight between the new rear and the front drive gear it's also pushed out some ?? idk

With a set of side cutters, snip a wire coat hanger wire to said length. That length would be something like the inner case being flat somewhere. So when you bend the L of the wire, you want it to butt against the case for stability. Snip the end so it just touches the old sprocket. Now install the offset sprocket and see if it butts up against the same touched position.

Note, the teeth need to have the same wide thickness:
1. If you flip the sprocket and the offset touches the wire rod like the OEM, there you go.
2. If the flip is at a distance, no can fit.
3. If the other flipped side can be moved in past the wire rod, then shim the sprocket with washers till it matches the touch points.
4. If the flip is the boss end being on the thread side, the lock washer and nut spun on, where all the threads are taken up on the shaft, but threads showing at the nut; because the boss took up the other threads needed, then no can fit = Return product.


Get it?

That's a dampener for the sound emissions, or better known as a; rubber baby buggy buffer. No buffing will be on the aftermarket sprockets. The same nut is kind of a quad or 4 sided signaler. That's back in the loop [signal wise] so you won't need a healer. It's when you wack a gear position wire off that you need to have the gear window back in play. Where the Locked-N is in the dash, the healer is a remote gear window.

I was referring to a speedoometer / odometer healer. Would this affect mph or total miles.
Thanks
