    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

how bad would it be to turn my steel front sproket around, it is alittle worn not to bad according to a bike mechanic and said it should be ok if i just turned it around and used it. i am concerned because i don't want ruin a brand new chain i got. the front sproket has a little very very mild hook going, you can't see it with your eye but can feel a little indent when you rub your finger across it. i am planing on getting a new front sproket but but i want to go on a ride sunday about 400 miles do you think this will be bad. the chain i have is a brand new d. i . d professional o ring chain.

Dude..... Cast a look of shame on your mechanic, and buy a new sprocket. 15 bucks is cheap compared to buying a chain twice.....
 
DO NOT DO IT!!! chain and sprockets should be replaces as sets. 400 moles will destroy your new chain. If you have to do the ride leave your old chain and sprockets on.
