ANYBODY KNOW KNOW WHERE I CAN GET A REAR SPROCKET FLANGE

[jdliquid]

Hi all.

Swapping out the old sprocket set for a quick change Afam carrier.

need a spare rear sprocket flange so I can pull out the bearings and swap into new one without stranding the bike.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

what bearings are you swapping?

Pull out the bearings? How are you planning to do this? If using a puller - you should not reuse those bearing. If you can manage to drive it out, by only putting pressure on the outer most ring, lin you would drive it in they would probably be ok... But bearings aren't costly, but failed ones can be.

Ok.

So are you suggesting that the only element that needs swapping is the center nut? or center piece?
and simply buy new bearings for the other slots.

As mentioned in another post, it's my first time performing this job.

So use a socket fitted to the center nut and lightly tap with a hammer to remove? this was suggested by another member.
I have access to a vice grip table as well.

THanks guys.

I don't recall swapping any bearings when I changed to a quick change.  In fact, if I were doing it again I woudn't even loosen the cush drives.  The sprocket is held in place by a spacer in the back, IIRC.

Ok, glad it's not just me. I was rather confused about how bearings were coming into the discussion around a sprocket carrier.
