Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation should be performed while the bike is on a stable stand. Ensure the bike is in neutral before removing the front sprocket cover. Always verify that your chain is a 520 pitch before installing this sprocket; mixing pitch sizes will cause immediate failure. To maintain the life of your sprocket, keep your chain clean, properly tensioned, and lubricated according to your bike manufacturer's service manual. Periodically check the teeth for 'hooking' or wear; if the teeth begin to show a shark-fin shape, it is time to replace both the sprocket and the chain to ensure safety and performance.
