sprockets "to flip or not to flip"

Cyanide gas from mixing crazy glue and baking soda? Oh great. Now another thing we have to worry about the terrorists getting their hands onto. - [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Team, last fall I investigated my sprocket situation. A16 app 7kmiles. The front is beginning to show signs of wear (tooth groove beginning to hollow out). Rear looks good still. ( 3 times more teeth) Intuitively, if one could flip the front you would have a fairly new surface to put many more miles on. Nut a few on this list directed me away from this as the hub of the front sprocket has a "shoulder" it technically is not symmetrical and thus not "flippable" BTW, others disagreed and stated that they had flipped in the past (haven't we all??) One explanation for this disagreement might be that KHI has indeed changed this peice part over the years? Some years take a slightly different version than others??? perhaps someone closer to the facts than I can comment. Anyhoo, I bought a new front ( 15t its on its way) and now just wanted to verify with the experts on the list that indeed the rear (45t) is flippable?? that seemed to be the consensus last fall. I intend to dig in to the project before it gets too warm here in mINNESOTA. Might start thawing tomorrow. By the way A16 fired right up even though it had sat in the garage since October. It seems quite happy now. me too. thanks for any and all advice, Todd in Chaska A16 06 CF 700 efi 02 600 triple

I have been using baking soda and cyanoacrylate, or "CA" glues for 30 years. The baking soda was used to fill in gaps, in "not so well fitting" joints in balsa or spruce. Some time in about the 1980's the thicker and slower curing CA glues started coming out. Also the spray accelerators like "ZAP Kicker" were around. If CA and baking soda made Cyanide, I would already be dead. What can happen, is if you are too near the CA when drying, and especially when using an accelerator, you can irritate your eyes, like really bad cigarette smoke.
