Spare front sprocket

[Plarimer]

With all the things I’ve been hearing about front sprocket failures I decided the best thing to do would be a buy a spare and carry it in my trunk. I order one from cheap cycle parts and being very honest they said it might be several weeks or even months before I get one. In fact my order confirmation came with, of course it’s on back order. That was two weeks ago. To my amazement I received notice yesterday that the part has been shipped! What a surprise. I’ll feel much safer on any trips I take. Thanks CCP!

Same here. White sprocket on backorder through Cheap Cycle Parts until 24 July estimated shipment date. Got tracking info for Wed 30 Jun. Also being used as spare.

Good love all you people that are so pro active and keep the economy going!!! Instead of maybe taking the sprocket off and inspecting it and installing back on the bike the correct way it should be, you just go out and buy a new one for a spare to raddle around in you trunk incase you need it!! Sounds plausible, hope you come by if I need one!!!!:thumbup:

CCP has an announcement on their web site about pandemic related delays in shipping. Nevertheless, as good customer service they are under-promising and overdelivering. Good way to get my business, which they do.

First of all, I am now too damn old to climb under a bike to put a sprocket on or off to make sure that it’s solid. I can lay down and reach up and see if there’s any red dust which there is not. I do not want to get stuck on the road having to wait three or four weeks for a part, in the best of times. You might be surprised at the spare parts motorcycle and trike riders carry. You have to be smarter than the average bear Yogi! Also you’ll never know when you run into another spider on the road that needs a front sprocket.

Well said. If I were capable of traveling much I'd have one in my tool kit.
