October 14, 200916 yr Greetings all! It's about time I delurked, since I've been an avid reader of this forum for a year, and am the very happy owner of an Agattu (now that it's got some Marathon plus tyres). Many thanks for all the advice I've had for free so far! Anyway, my first posting is a sprocket change query - I've got the old sporcket off and my shiny new 18T is on the splines.........How on earth does one get the snap ring back on?! Am I right that I need some circlip pliers, or is there a top tip that I've missed?
October 14, 200916 yr Circlip pliers can help a bit to get it off, but aren't much use getting it back on as there's no eyelets to engage. I usually put one end on one side at an angle, hold it firmly there and then use a screwdriver to lever about half to two thirds around to prise it over. Once on the drum section, it's easy to tap it along to the groove. .
October 16, 200916 yr Author Thanks to Flecc for yet another clear description that worked. I am now the very happy owner of a fast Agattu - 12.5 mile commute in 45 very pleasant minutes this morning! (It takes 30 in a car.....).
