    Actually I have taken the sprocket carrier off too. This is as far as I've stripped it back.

    Ahhhhhh gotcha. There are bearings in the sprocket carrier which I've removed. Never actually occurred to me to powder coat the sprocket carrier.

    I was thinking about replacing the rear sprocket with a Renthal, while I've got it all apart. My current one's not particularly worn but I like the look of the Renthals and they're not that expensive. There's no problem with replacing just the rear is there?

    I didn't, no. Looking at it I think I'm just going to leave the sprocket carrier black.

    Going for gold on the wheels. I had a look at the 2009 HRC Blade that I'm trying to emulate with the wheel colour and that has a black sprocket carrier with gold wheels.
