Got my new motor a month ago and have put some serious miles on it in that time.
Took a 23 mile ride over the weekend and near the end my main chain started jumping teeth from the worn chain.
It started doing it in 8th gear (8 speed cassette) then started doing it also in gears 5-on down so I had to go slow in 4th gear to make my destination.
I replaced the chain and it works perfect except for 8th gear. It was still jumping teeth. I took the cassette off and ground out the "hook" especially on the last tiny 11 tooth cog but it still does it sometimes in that gear.
My question, is it possible to find a 11 tooth cog for shimano cassette anywhere or should I just pay the $20 for the full replacement?
I'm thinking that only motor bikers wear out that last gear so shimano probably doesn't bother with a replacement for it?
