Default front sprocket.

so im in the process of replacing my chain. noticed the stock 16t front sprocket has some play in it, the bolt is on there tight.
is that normal?
btw does anybody know the chain length? (they cut 112 for me but its too long)

Default RE: front sprocket.

The front sprocket shouldn't have any play in it. Are you stating the chain has play in it? You can adjust the tightness of the chain by loosening the rear axle bolt and then pulling the tire back and tightening it up, and then adjust the chain tensioning bolts on each side of the bike.

Yes it's normal to have a small amount of play in the front sprocket, in and out on the shaft. If you still have the stock gearing (16F/46R) then the chain is 108 links
