[QUOTE="johncrispin, post: 127316, member: 53"] ROBERT, Thanks your help and advice has been invaluable. Its just that now having invested in it, It is perhaps the 'is it all too good to be true' type syndrome plus a bit of old man cynicism, me that is!. Plus the fact that even decent quality conventional chains were clapping out noticeably after several thousand miles (and I am not a hard rider) after a period of frequent adjustment ended up like an elastic band! IMHO I think the shock absorption on the vin twin is a bit lacking , especially with that type of ESA being the only thing to soften those punches. So i will keep a weather eye on the alloy sprocket, and find myself a decent steel one when it gives up. It is British winters and the copious application of salt that ruins open chains in the UK as you probably know. ON nicer winter days I do like to go out for a ride. cheers J [/QUOTE]
