Lacquer your rear sprocket? - Gav - 05-03-15
I've just bought a new +1 front and a new rear sprocket along with a spanking new gold chain.
I'm thinking of masking the outer teeth ring then spray lacquering the middle to prevent corrosion.
Is this OCD / waste of time or worth a punt to keep things kinda spangly?
Cheers

With the amount of chain lube on my sprockets no need to worry about corrosion..........

+1 to that, chain lube will cover it in no time.

Might make it easier to keep clean though, that's what I first thought you was doing it for.

Decided it was a dumb idea as lacquer would not stick and flake off the new shiny rear sprocket. Maybe I am OCD.
Anyway while the rear is off and suspension bearings to be lubed up, I got out an old toothbrush and with some gunk I scrubbed off all traces of oil in and around the back wheel and back of the engine. Which isn't OCD at all. Cough eh hem
