Fractured front cog?
Sorry guys, it looks like my web host has gone offline.
Here are some photos that work: Try these links: http://www.ucl.ac.uk/~ucgadak/fracture1.jpg http://www.ucl.ac.uk/~ucgadak/fracture2.jpg http://www.ucl.ac.uk/~ucgadak/fracture3.jpg Thanks! Jack "Daniel Kelly (AKA Jack)" wrote in message ... Dear Bikers, I fear my bike has a fracture in its front cog. I first noticed something was wrong when I heard the front cog hitting against the front derailleur once every revolution of the pedals. It turned out the front cog was actually bent and so "wobbled" as it rotated, relative to the front derailleur. Closer inspection showed that the front cog was a little loose and could be jiggled a little. The join between the front cog and the right pedal was clearly loose. I took the right pedal off and found a little crack in the front cog. Some photos are he http://www.xlk.org.uk/forum/modules....view_album.php Is this a fracture? If so, how dangerous is it? Can I ride my bike with this fracture? Do I need a new front cog & right pedal? Thanks, Jack -- rec.bicycles.off-road is moderated by volunteers.
