sprockets to make sure that there are no:
– damaged rollers;
– loose pins;
– dry, rusty, crushed or seized links;

touches the rear sprocket, and pulling it
away from the sprocket as far as you can.
If you are able to pull the chain far enough
away from the sprocket so that you can
see light between the side plates of the
chain and the sprocket teeth, the chain and
sprocket are worn out and should be
replaced.
NOTE
Always replace both sprockets
