Going back to my original post, I was fitting a new rear tyre the other day in preparation for a full on riding season (hopefully). In doing so, and doing the obligatory clean, and re-grease of wheel bearings, I noticed on the clean rear sprocket "TALON 46", jackpot I thought, now I have all the information that I need to purchase a nice new sprocket, sadly it is not quite as easy as that, they apparently have no records of ever having manufactured them and suggest that I send them a drawing or sample.
How frustrating, I feel sure that one of our larger suppliers must have had a batch made, albeit a few years ago, I did give Ann Guy a call, but Ann doubts that it was Conways when Chas had the business, so I think that just leaves Colin or Ron, does that jog anyones memory, Talon say they need a part number to search their system.
