Taigen KT Sprocket and idler
Posted: Sun Jan 13, 2019 4:31 pm
Hi all, just a quick question before i accidentally break something!!!
My replacement sprockets and idlers for my HL KT have arrived but 2 things have come to mind before I attempt to fit them.
1. In relation to the idlers, they've come with their central pin fitted and separate longer ones are in the pack (see pictures below. The question here is, do they just need to be "tapped out"? there is not much length as you'll see and to me, it suggests that the ones on the packaging are the ones to be removed.
2. being a skater of old, when I spin the idlers pinching the central pin between my fingers, I can feel a 'grinding' resistance within the bearings. Given the scale this could be quite normal but when ever I had this before, it meant either over tightened or bearings were shot.
Anyhew, they arrived without instructions hence the question seeking sage advice!
