December 11, 200619 yr After a long think I got in contact with a Justine Richards at Talon Engineering too discuss what they could do for me too help me remove all fear of another digit incident. It may look simple but I reckon it`ll be the buisiness. Many thanks again too Justine and the team at Talon for all there help
December 11, 200619 yr food for thought................ What about when the bike falls on its side and you get your wrist caught between sprocket and chain At least with a beta if it falls throttle side down the sprocket will be face down
December 11, 200619 yr Author If that happpens i`m really really unlucky and will propbably die next time I cross the road!!!! But on a serious note I just wanted too eliminate the possibility of the same thing happening twice, as that would really irritate me
December 11, 200619 yr Which bit did you get your finger trapped in then barry was it the bits in between ?? like the holes ?
December 11, 200619 yr dude you should just buy some chainmail gloves.then it wont matter where you put your little pinkys
December 11, 200619 yr Author Lewis yep one of the holes in the inner sprocket. Martin Yep sure is! thats my new `special` chopping board (it is fake blood) Dixie thought about it and used too own one but really think it through, it`d make a horrible mangled mess!
December 11, 200619 yr Barry this is just a thought and i think i will try and make one for my sons bike as i could easily put my fingers into the sprocket when i am minding for him.I was thinking you could make a round cover the size of the sprocket in a clear plastic this would stop your fingers going into the sprocket but you would still be able to see the fancy coloured sprocket through it.It could be held on with some cable ties so it could easily be removed for cleaning. (P.S I HOPE YOUR FINGER IS GETTING BETTER)
December 11, 200619 yr Author Had thought of it but just buying the above sprocket was much easier I chose the colour being black i`m sure they would of done other colours, did try too get them too engrave my name into it but they would only do that if I were too buy 50+ too cover the set up fees!!!! Being an ex CNC machinist I find that difficult too swallow buy hey! Finger is super fantastic now ta just started being able too use my left hand again and can get it wet at last! not long now and i`ll be back on the bike
December 11, 200619 yr Nice. We have some great new bits for you to see young Barry but no riding them until someone is catching. Great to read you are on the mend and looking forward to riding again just hope it is with us. Ralph.
