What can I do with this?

were you running a 13T front sprocket?...or an xtra wide chain?

Hawkeye58:
I run a 14t up front.
Standard Pro Taper chain. No Oring or Xring for me.
I fear the prior owner ran wider chain.

sandblaster:
That's not your bearing.
There is a steel insert right there.
If it does not leak it's no biggie.

Hawkeye58:
Thank you for the info!
Should I discover a leak, can it be JB welded?
Also am I on the right track staying away from the
Oring/Xring chains?

sandblaster:
I whittle mine down so I can run a x-ring  :-o



Lots of guys use jb weld...
I don't like it so I get mine tig welded.
But I wouldn't worry, I doubt it will leak.

If you just gotta use jb weld get the Kwikweld version
