HippY Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Hey guys I just put a new sprocket on the hope pro 2 hub I took of the spacers, took out the old sprocket, put the new sprocket in, and every bit that I took off in the same order I tightened the end as much as I could with hand, but there is a small play in the sprocket, like half mm. I heard that when I pedal it will tighten itself automatically... is it true, or ~I should get a spacer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just measure the base of your old sprocket and compare it to the new one. If it's the same width, the old one was loose as well. It may also just be the freehub body that is slightly loose. Have you checked that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the lockring mechanism tightens itself... but it might be completely wrong, I have a friend who is a mechanike r who told me Ill check it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HippY Posted September 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 :$ yeah, I should stay at Pc-s anyway it seems like it is a spacing problem as previous sprocket was a mm wider, I will order some carbon spacers off tarty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paperclip Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Yeah sounds like your sprocket is thinner than your last one, I have some of the really thin 2mm spacers spare that will never be put to use so if you send me over your address I will send one in a letter dude 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
