Replaced the rear sprocket, cleaning up all the nuts and wheel axle as I went. Also found the source of the noisy rear brake during inspection - The inner pad was not positioned properly and was hanging down on the pivot pin running on the wheel hub......I don't really use much back brake other than to keep the front end down on acceleration over bumps but still a shocker. Also have been experimenting with ACF50 but after managing to get it on the tyres have decided that I will only use it on bolt heads and such like - nowhere near any rubber or brakey bits. It seems to just keep running with gravity. Regardless, will see how it protects the cleaned up sprocket nuts and wheel axle. Bike back under cover now. Thinking about trying the ACF50 on my skis edges to keep them rust free.....
