Checked the other day and my front sproclet is a 17. So I`v decided to throw a 16 on. I know some people have suggested 15, but that will gear it for 163 and make 2nd just abit slower topped out than I like. I think for now 16 will work well and i`ll play around with it abit more next season.

So its been years since I swapped one, but I seem to remember front sprockets usually have atab washer dont they? but this one doesnt seem to?? Will I need thread lock?
What size is the bolt? and will I need a whooping great breaker bar to get it off and do it up tight enough again??

Also while I`m there, I`m going to uprate my leaky italiano clutch slave and replace with an oberon as per recommendation (cheers Rob and others)

Pretty simple job far as I can see. No hidden pitfalls in there I take it? i`d imagine its just a push rod behind the slave? And that the oberon is a straight swap?

Any tips, pitfall appreciated as I have very limited tools available and the garag I do work in isnt mine, so I want to make sure I have everything i need before I start pulling things apart!

Cheers
Steve
