HAWK Rear Sprocket Catastrophic Failure
Another HAWK problem.. Weather was nice today so i was going to ride i got about a mile or 2 from home and lost all power when giving it gas, I first thought my transmission went out but then i saw the chain still spinning and thought "what the hell?!" i look back at the sprocket and it was just freely spinning...
SO i PUSHED the bike home A MILE or 2 and found the sprocket completely out of place on ALL 4 of the retainers. The retainer clip looked to be just fine and it was. mind you, I had the stock 50t rear sprocket. I never wanted to mess with the rear sprocket because of the clip and now, after taking it off i know why. So I got the sprocket off and discovered how the retaining bolts work and they were ALL completely broken and one even destroyed the bushing it was in. Now ive changed my rear tire 3 times and messed with the stock chain a ton until i eventually got a new chain and i never noticed the sprocket looking bad. It always appeared to be pretty solid. I'm having a hard time believing that ALL 4 broke at once and assume they broke one by one over time but i had no way of noticing or being able to tell AND my bike sat pretty much all winter beside the occasional nice days. So what i want to know is do you guys think i will have to just get a whole new rear wheel assembly? or should I just get a new HUB? And can anyone tell me what the rear wheel assembly comes with? Spokes, rim, hub? probably doesnt come with the rotor or a sprocket so I will have to put the sprocket back on? Also does anyone know of what retainer bolts I can buy that will fit and wont completely fail on me? Thanks guys... Ill post pictures in the next post |
