[QUOTE="danno, post: 161438, member: 1372"] BTH components where I bought the Alton say they’re not sure if there’s a metal sprocket available. Have offered to contact them. There’s a lot of useful info on my other post on fitting the Alton. Even going as far as involving the ESA and cam modification. Also there’s a shim available for adjustment. From Greg Brillus: ‘However, the issue with the Alton's and their supplied plastic gear is mostly a meshing problem.......And also the plastic gear has teeth that are wider than the stock steel item, so there is less side movement, that coupled to sloppy chainwheel bushes, and if the alton is not centered correctly will end up in rapid ware of the plastic item..........I've seen it a few times now.’ Bit disappointed with the sprocket wearing out, given the very few miles it’s done. Maybe it’s a problem area reading the posts about modifications. Hopefully a simple fix as I haven’t the time to sort that and address the suspension, rack, indicators and broken strut. [/QUOTE]
