    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.

Upgraded sprocket/chain

Hi all,

postman_pat just gave me the last bit of info I needed to rebuild my front brake caliper. Now I'm moving onto replacing the rear brake shoes. I will have to have the tire off and my chain has never been replaced (this is a 1979 .....) so I was thinking about changing the chain and both sprockets. I had read good things about Vortex and DID but was wondering if any members here have tried this on a similar sized bike. My low end acceleration is more than enough but my top speed is a bit low so I thought perhaps I would bump the rear sprocket down by a few teeth. Does anyone have feedback on this? Comments, stories, suggestions, or criticism? How do I size the chain if I change the sprocket?

Lots of questions ... I've never dabbled in this sort of mechanics. Excited, though.

Thanks a lot,
GSP
