Chain guard on rear sprocket

(1/3) > >>

Bradders:
Morning. On my rear sprocket the chain guard is becoming quite loose due I think to the holes around the rivets getting larger. It’s becoming quite noisy and I’m a bit concerned about it falling off and jamming in the wheel.
Any suggestions what to do with it? Is it a case of drilling the old rivets out and taking it off? Any ides would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Matt_Harrington:
I don't have the guards on my bikes but I suppose there is no reason why you can't just give the rivets some more 'hammering'. You would need to remove the sprocket .....
It you take it off, I'll look after it for you  ;)

Hi Matt,
Thanks for your offer of looking after my sprocket guard 🙂 but I’m quite keen to put it back on. I’ll probably wait till I take the bike of the road for the winter and drill them out and put new ones in. ( although that’s probably rather ambitious for my level of mechanical skills! )

Oddjob:
Just fit a bolt, drill out the rivets and tap to the nearest size. A bit of thread lock, just in case.

You could always put some Honda Bond prior to assembly between the cleaned contact areas.
