Any update on the sprockets, runt13..?

[runt13]

Mine are 520! I do not know the sizes off hand, here's the deal.....................being the only fleet mechanic for a very large electrical contracting company.

I was supposed to take a look today, but got called on storm here in NJ / PA. on Friday at 4pm. don't know when I will be home, should be by Monday / Tuesday . I promise I will look then.

This was supposed to be the work on the LSR bike weekend and my grandsons B-day party, but when there's no power, we are called in till its done.

runt......congratulations on your dedication.

It's fellows like you that get the lights and heat back on

following the worst winter storms.

Oh ya, the AC when it's summer.

THANKS AGAIN to you and your fellow workers.

Thanks Freud

This one wasn't that bad, Irene and Sandy were just awful!

When I started working here it was the end of Sandy and the trucks were falling apart. got a call 4am on presidents day from a friend, he asked if I wanted to work on trucks, I was currently working at a golf coarse, I said NO!........however he was a good negotiator and I started that day.

Back then we had 30 crews working 7 days a week 16hrs a day, we did that from October 30th till mid April. during that time the crews only got 3 days off. x-mas day, turkey day, and new years day. in the beginning they lived in hotels with no power or heat, ate box lunches and dealt with the angry people. while there families dealt with the same stuff at home alone.

there are so many stories no one will ever hear of the generosity and heroism. like when the pallet of box lunches had extra, some crews would seek out the homeless and give them out. I think they gave away about 200+ sweatshirts, right off there backs to people that lost everything. I could go on and on.

well were off storm and I should be home about 7pm tonight, I will check on those sprockets then.

any luck?

on it as we speak, give me 30 minutes

ok, bike no. 2 , [former drag bike] has a 58 rear sprocket and 23 front sprocket, its a 520 set up. i will be changing to a 530 set up so if this will  help you i'm sure we can come up with a price that will make us both happy. i can deliver it to wilmington next weekend.

now i didnt ask you reason or end goal, as in what are you going to try to accomplish.

let me know and i may be able to help.

when we used to raod race we always bought 530 sprockets for our 520 set up and just machined them down to 520. this has a few nice advantages, availiability, stronger sprockets, and you can make up some offset if you need to.

well back in the garage, got 5 days till ohio. im going to ask that 5hr energy drink company for sponsorship! lol
