Lacquer your rear sprocket?
#1
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..........
This is as young as you're ever going to be!

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

More people are born because of alcohol than will ever die from it.

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
