Wheel adjustment Q
I upgraded to a slightly bigger rear sproket not too long ago (6-9 months). Was out riding about 2 months back and my chain fell off the rear sproket. Come to find out that the left wheel adjustment block had snapped in half and fallen out somewhere along the ride. Luckily, at the house I had a 93 frame that had the same wheel adjustment block. Stuck that one in, made sure everything was tight and right. Went out riding again this weekend. At one of the stops someone mentioned to me that my chain was awfully loose. Went to look at it, and noticed that the replaced adjustment block was snapped again and missing. I relayed the info to some of the riders and the majority thoughts were that because of the bigger sproket, there was too much torque on the rear wheel and the block can't take it.
The sproket I put on was only +6 I believe, I'm out of town atm and my memory is crap :P
This sound about right to everyone else? I still have the stock sproket so I can switch it out, just need to find another adjustment block. Any thoughts/ideas are greatly appreciated.
btw, it's a 94 F2, w/ 33k miles on the clock.
