There are NOS sprockets out there, Kev had a number of very tasty ones for sale not so long ago. I have the metallurgy / hardness data and CAD for sprockets but as there is still (to some extent) a supply of original items, I haven’t furthered that project.
Are the loyd rings the same as universal ? Alistair you may want to chime in here.
Kev, from what I understand, Richard’s track horns are striking the hub bells as they pass over the sprocket, the issue is suggestive that his sprockets are worn… I know the clearances are tight’ish, Lynn has mentioned the round bar test (which I hadn’t heard of until just now) I know on universals the clearance between the horns and the hub bell are a lot closer than that.
Did you sell off all those Gucci rings you had a while back ?
