skyline1 Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Sorry I need help again, I have just bought a talon rear sprocket & I am confused as how it should be fitted. I know that sounds daft but I believe the one I have taken off to have been fitted wrong. when looking at the sprocket the bolt holes have a flat side & the other side has a recess. Are the recess for the bolt head to sit flush in or are they to fit on the raised contact points on the wheel hub its a 41tooth talon radialite & the recess are not the type that are angled & look if they should take a wedge shaped bolt head. need a quick answer if possible.please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordi Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Usually the recess is for the bolt head to it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b40rt Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 As above, cant say I've ever seen a hub with raised location points. Previous owner probably turned the old one to get more wear from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyline1 Posted September 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 I took a guess that the Sprocket was on the wrong way around so I fitted it with the bolt heads in the recess & Thank you for confirming I made the right guess. Had the day out on the bike today & managed to Break the front & rear mudguards so that's another £153.00 to fork out. Good fun through.
