While waiting for our shipment of new sprockets to come in, today we tore apart the erg in preparation for installing these new chompers (sprockets have teeth). This included:
- Taking off the heavy duty #40 chain because we will be replacing it with a much lighter #25 chain, the same kind that comes with Concept II ergs.
- Removing the differential axle and the wheel axle from the erg.
- Hammering off old sprockets from the differential
- Vises and hammers and a little ingenuity go a long way. Safety goggles are mandatory.
