Stainlessniel

I bought it new in September. It's done 9000+, and I don't know how th #*%\ I've don't it pal, and it all seems to sit flush, as when u tighten it up it all pushes together as long as it's all been put in right, but if I hold a fixed ruler from the swing arm to the teeth of the sprocket, every full turn it scrapes a few teeth ever so slightly. After seeing the spindle I WAS happy to just buy a second hand spindle an throw it in(as long as it's straight) but after your reaction to it being bent I'm back to scratching my head! Lol

So if it's not the front shaft(front sprocket), an it's not the spindle, that only leaves, wheel bearings, or rear sprocket mounting or sprocket.
Mabey I'll try resetting the sprocket then lol....although it's had a lot of water ice an snow thrown at it this winter in sunny Manchester, plus a fair few power washes..... Mabey I've burnt the bearings out, but with little or no money, an 2 days till I leave for assen...on the bike, so I need a result quick lol
