[QUOTE="Mark Fisher, post: 53625, member: 510"] David is correct, I had 2 bronze and two 4140 gears made, glen has a 4140 gear and I'm running a bronze gear in the alton fitted to my goldie. So far so good as far as the gears go but it does make the friction clutch in the magdyno work very hard! Still running in grease at this time. As far as the gear (nylon) being sacrificial then one would make many sacrifices as they seem to strip everytime you miss a gear. I don't think lubrication is the problem but it won't hurt to try, but it just seems like a sudden change in engine speed is just too much for the nylon to cope with. This could of course mean that the nylon sprocket that is driven by the primary could become sacrificial with a steel internal gear! Probably NOT a good idea to use a steel sprocket with this set up.
