rear drive sprocket freeplay (Read 63 times)

Does this sound like a part is worn or does it sound like something just needs adjusting? 40k kms. Belt looks good.

The axial wobble is a worn pulley hub bearing......it is a major cause of belt squeak.

OK, thx.

@Dave, I cannot locate the DBM thread yet, been at it all morning, so I haven't had a chance to see what the double bearing conversion entails yet, so in the meantime, if I decide to just get the bearing replaced, how urgent is that, like apart from a bit of squeak, would any other parts become damaged if this was left for a few weeks?
