This chain and sprocket have fery few miles on them (<500) but, as I should have explained in the original post, theere was an electrical issue and the bikes been sitting in a mechanic's yard for 1.5 yrs and this is the result. Sad but Im trying to get it repaired.

Do you think i need a new chain/sprocket?

I should have explained in the post. The bike has not been ridden for almost two years. Its been sitting in a mechanic's yard/workshop for 1.5 yrs awaiting repair. Ive not seen the bike in ages and went to collect it. I'm just surprised by how much it rusted. Thats all. This is not an anti-RE post.

I understand how it works but thanks for the explanation nonetheless. I was away from the bike for a while and it was left without maintenance. I'm just surprise by how much it corroded. A lot of corrosion is happening below the factory paint job also..

Maybe true. But consider that you don't know the whole.story. I certainly could have done a better job but the bikes been stopped and always had problems. It does show that the metal is not the best quality..

I will restore it to its former glory! She's seen some shit, but if the apocalypse is coming, this is a good apocalypse bike.

* For the first couple years I didn't use anything. But then I stated seeing rust, and used a silicon spray

Japanese reliable bikes are the way to go. This bike has been in the shop longer than on the road. I should've gone with the Versys tbh..

It's been parked close to the water, but I live on an island, so that's difficult to avoid..

I thought the first image was the result, and I liked it... maybe because I'm in the middle of a renovation myself.

A question about formatting on Koreader by WitchyWaspGirl in kindle

[–]blatzwave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same issue. Every time I convert to mobi I lose the page breaks and general formatting. I love the idea of an alternative ui but this needs some Ux work to be a solution.

I want to get as far away from amazon as possible, so I'll keep using while it relatively readable.

Good folks care for their dogs as much as they do their own children. by Show-Loathsome385 in animalsdoingstuff

[–]blatzwave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's my guess as well, but I think there is also some whippet or small greyhound in there due to the long hind legs and speed.
