About 45 days ago I replaced a hoot gearbox with a Skyhawk 111. Today on a short trip the Skyhawk gearbox locked up and left me side of the road...After finally getting home and tearing the gearbox apart, I found that several of the teeth on the clutch bell gear were worn down to nothing and several others appeared to have broken off, the remains of which were in the bottom of the case.. Before I bought the Skyhawk, I researched the item and thought that it was a far superior item...but it has only lasted for about 100 miles. the other gears show NO signs of wear...The gearcase was filled with 80 to 140 gearoil....I did have the engager locked in the on position all of the time...
Does anyone know if this is normal wear and tear???Any suggestions on how to prevent such in the future, after I replace the clutch assembly. Bicycle-Engines.com shows that they have the parts...Any other suppliers of these parts????
