[Lionelboi]

for ur front and rear sprocket, if the teeth of the sprocket are jagged and sharp. Its time to change liao. Anyway its usually 2 rear sprocket change to 1 front sprocket change.

 

if your chain cannot be tightened anymore, you have a Rusty chains, you can see damaged links or you feel unsmoothness during acceleration (due to uneven chain length between links) its prolly time to change liao.

i would say the front sprocket will wear out faster...

anyway, always change all the spcokets and chain together... to provide even wear...
