There was a Huge Car rally and on last minute they invited 250cc and above category to Join in too (and I had spare holidays) Oh Yeah!!

it was a round trip of around 900Km and was lot of fun due to the fact that almost every one joined in as almost every biker wanted to have some ride out in Autumn..

So; due to alot of offroading included in this year summer I replaced the front sprocket to 13T instad of stock 14T...

On the way back from this tour I was some what 400kms from my home city when I noticed chain skipped few tooths on heavy accelration...

I thought may be the chain is very loose I might check it on next refueling stop.. so on next refueling stop I saw this.... I was freaked out and thought I might have to get it loaded on some truck... becuase the sprocket had alsmot no tooth...

on my return I got it replaced back to stock sprocket... the mechnic suggestd it got chewed due to very low quality... thanks to Aliexpress.com from where I bought it.....

Very good that you made it home.

Maybe sprocket was not genuine Chinese, maybe counterfeit from Lesotho?

I can fit ALL of my clothing, camping gear, food and spares in Tourfella luggage without filling the top box very much. I do this by using ultralight backpacking gear. My tent is 3lbs 6oz and fits in an area of about 6x12 (Big Agnes Copper Spur 2 person UL), inflatable sleeping pad is 1 pound and the size of a water bottle (Klymit insulated V), my pillow is inflatable and is the size of a lighter and weights nothing (Klymit), my sleeping bag is down and packs down to about 6x8 inches and weights 1 pound (Marmot Quark). I use a jetboil which is compact. I put the various items in dry sacks which do a decent job of being compressed and staying small and doubles to keep things dry and no cross contamination. The problem is the smaller it is the more expensive in many cases. For clothing I bring 2 pairs of everything only. I wear one set for a few days and wash it and switch back and forth. Exception is bringing 4 pairs of underwear. I bring water shoes which are compact for camp life. For foods I use mountain house dehydrated. Compact and light. I use my top box as a table and pannier as a seat.

Hope this helps!
