Front sprockets

Hey guys I want to go to a 16 tooth front sprocket have all the gear but the nut is very tight. Just checkin is it left hand or right hand thread?

Cheers Rob Cairns

you'll need a rattle gun or a big fark off breaker bar to get it off. They all come out of Kawa Japan like that.

Best bet if you dont have access to either, is go to a tyre shop and get them to take it off for you.


In either case make sure a single hex nut is used.

Oh and it is standard thread

Yep, what Russ said. If you go to a shop to get it done you can then just do it up a little (I shit you not) and bend the washer dodadthingy back over to go home and then take it off, thats what I have done on a few occasions. No need to tighten the fuck out of it when you do it up, either, that washer bent over will do that

Thanks Guys

Goes much better now

Good to hear.

It is a must do mod for most modern roadies if you ask me.
