I was wondering the last few days why my 6 week old SIS
system I installed on my mountain bike seemed to run so
rough. The chain has been getting regular soaks in the
oil, and still is in good shape, and then I noticed tonite
when I went to clean my freewheel that the last 2 cogs
had most of there teeth missing. (I suspect that is my
major problem)
Having but 6 weeks of experience with Deore-xt SIS stuff,
I was wondering if anyone else had similar problems destroying
teeth on a newer shimano cogs. (Last freewheel lasted
2 winters before I broke many teeth) Does anyone care to
guess if maybe I got some defective cogs, or do all shimano
freewheels do that. [Or am I just an animal on a bike?]
Robb....who should buy mountain bike parts in bulk...:(

Do you shift while pedaling hard? That can be very abusive
to your chain and gears. If not, maybe it was just a case of
defective equipment.

My guess is faulty goods, I have used Shimano Deore (not XT)
parts on my MTN bike for over a year now with no real problems.
I always ride in the dirt and do my best to abuse the bike at
every opportunity..................
Try speaking to your friendly shimano stockist
