While fitting a Devilsyam sprocket cover I have noticed my front sprocket is well on its way out, (teeth bending but not thinning) although chain and back spocket seem ok, also the sprocket was loose the locking tab having broken and the nut loose luckily catching on the 2nd flat on the broken tab. I have toured the local bike shops with a view to just replacing the front and am told this is common for the tab to break! Having checked for chains and sprockets I am wondering which way to go for a tourer stlyle rider. The front spocket is 16T & 4XV with plastic coated sides so I don't know what make this is. Any views out there please.
