So lately my wife has been working alot of evening shifts, and for the past couple months has been carpooling with a male co-worker. At first I didn't mind, I would rather have someone with her in case she has car trouble or something like that, but it seems that they have become a little bit more than friends. You know the scenario, the phone calls that hangup, she starts wearing nice clothes to work, talking about him all the time, etc. I don't know what to think. If I'm out in the garage when she gets home (usually after midnight) he just drops her off and leaves, but if the lights are off in the garage and I'm in the house (they think I'm sleeping) they sit out in the car for like twenty minutes. I asked her once what they were doing, she said "just talking"....whatever. So last night I decide that I'm going to see what really goes on out there. I leave the garage door open, but turn out all the lights. About the time she usually gets home, I go out and hide in the garage and wait. In a few minutes, his car pulls into my driveway, and I'm hiding behind my Raptor. When his headlights shine through the garage and onto my bike, I see something that I just can't believe. The rear sprocket is already worn and hooked but the chain looks OK. Do you think I should change just the sprocket or the chain and sprocket?

 

**** son you got a situation on your hands, and I think this is news that you don't want to hear...
but it is common practice to always change the sprockets and chain as one unit or face the consequences.

oh and sorry about the wife thing, although I did laugh at the end (I think i was supposed to )

 

WHAT IN THE MOTHERFUCK!!!!!!!!! LOL, was that story for real? hahaha

 

YOUR FREE!!! congratulations my son you've become a man are are free from all liens and encumbrances... as men who have grown up and moved on from the nest, I think the last thing we need is another mother

 

You sold your R1 for a Busa?

 

No.

 

When my Sonia's been with the neighbor I always do the chain AND sprocket... but it's up to you as long as those teeth are not abnormally worn

 

that was funny as hell.

time

SVTP had some good ones too

 

haha, thats funny. but seriously...kill her

 

I'd check the rubber. Worn rubber is no bueno!

 

I swear all we were doing was talking and my hearing aid fell on my lap and she was helping me look for it.

 

I'd say replace the chain anyways. That way, you have a wicked weapon lying around just in case you need it.

 

It's always been my practice to change the sprocket and chain at the same time too, I hate when I happen to glance at my bike while I'm busy and something looks out of whack,

 

loll story older than the internet

+1


also, is your read aluminum? most people as you can see say to just change them at the same time. in my practice I just go with how the chain is feeling at the me (when using an aluminum sprocket) if my chain is a good distance from the stretch point then i just change the sprocket.
