Yes, they rattle about a bit on the splines due to the mounting system. BB

Re: front sprocket
IMO,generally, it's best practice to replace running items like C&S, in sets, the exception is, as a rule CRMs will wear out two front sprockets to one rear, and one chain.THUNDER TRUCK wrote:hello

Putting a new chain on dodgy sprockets will wear out a new chain quicker.
To test a chain, pull the chain at the about a point in line with the length of the swinging arm, i to the rear of the sprocket,if more than a few MM can easily be pulled, then the chain is nearing the end of it's working life.
