Vintage Motorcycle Chains and Sprockets
Sprocket Repairs
A simple method of repairing sprockets is to have the original teeth machined off and a matching spocket outer welded or bolted back onto the hub. This works particularly well in the case of aluminium sprockets, for instance TY250A which has a dished sprocket.
