Glad you enjoyed it!

Awesome. Thanks for your support.

Yes it does feel smoother. I thought it was just my imagination.

I have tried a few different water based degreasers, but have never heard of this one. I'll look out for it. Might make a good video to compare a few!

Thanks for your support Colin. I remember the sprocket turning days. Not that I would have done so, but this one would not be reversable, as it has a slight offset. It would need shimming to get the alignment correct.

The same gentleman used to tack weld big end and main end nuts. One reason I never purchased a bike from him.

Thanks 👍

Thanks Alan. Glad you enjoyed it! I'm delighted with the new chain.

Thanks Cal. I hope the video was helpful. The new chain is ace - every time I park up the bike I have to step back and admire it.

Thanks for your support Gary

Hi Darren. Details are in the video description.

I bought it at a bike show for £30.

OK. Next time I do that job I'll record it.

Hi Dale. I made a could of separate videos about the tyres.

Not done decat, but I may do so - look out for future videos!

It all depends on how you ride and how well you look after it.

@@SongsFromTheSaddle Well I ride my T100 pretty hard and I am constantly cleaning and lubing the chain. I’m changing it anyway in the next few weeks for a goldy looking chain. Not the sprockets though.

That's not an oil leak. It's oil off my chain. I lube the chain with chainsaw oil, which flings off and collects under the front sprocket cover.

@@SongsFromTheSaddle: i took the panels off, cleaned it all nice nice. it was spotless. went for a ride, and there a small leak coming from the the back of the sprocket. unfortunately it is not the chain lube.

You need a large Allen wrench for the front axle. I use a universal, stepped tool that is widely available. Google "motorcycle axle hex tool"

I'm happy with the standard gearing, otherwise I would have changed it at this opportunity

I had the earlier Scrambler and went up to 19T (from memory) as I was forever searching for a sixth gear. I often feel Triumphs are too low geared. Same with my Street Triple.

@@SongsFromTheSaddle I want to change the gearing on my XE, the chain and a front 17t sprocket are easy to find, I’m struggling with finding the rear in the right pattern though. A black 41 or 42t would be ideal. Any leads appreciated. Would you advise trying the front sprocket first, or replacing all three parts together is the only way (current set up has 4600 miles on it). Many thanks

Yep

Sorry to hear that Adam. It can be fiddly getting everything aligned. I can offer a few tips: Spread the brake pads to given more room to get the disk in - you can do this gently with a tyre lever or large screw driver; back the chain tensioners right off, so you can get the spindle in with the chain very slack; Get a few small bits of wood to push under the wheel and support it when you have the wheel aligned; lube the spindle with some grease so it slides through easily. Lastly, be patient - sometime is takes a few attempts to get everything aligned.

Hello Adam! I'm having the same difficulty - it seems like with the caliper and spacers in place, the whole assembly is maybe 1/8" / 3mm too wide to get between the swingarms. I'm hoping there is a simple solution that I'm missing. Do you have any advice?

@@user-by5mf4un7o ultimately I was able to get it done. I’m a total newbie to tire changes, so I’m embarrassed to say it took me about 2 hours before I was able to figure it all out. A couple of things I did… first, the previous comment on my question from SongsFrom The Saddle were great suggestions and I used them. Second, i greased the all the parts generously and that’s what helped hold the spacer in place, however, I did use a rubber mallet to lightly tap the spacer in so that it was fully seated. After that, I had the clearance I needed. I noticed that prior to the grease and tapping with a mallet, the spacer would rock slightly, making it stick out too far to get between the swing arms. Finally, my bike was up on a center lift, so the whole thing was quite high up, requiring me to lift the wheel quite high to get it on. When I finally decided to switch to my rear swing arm stand (I have the bobbins on the swing arm that act as lift points for it) the whole thing finally went on no problem. I hope that helps. I’ve actually decided to remove the wheels a few other times since then simply to convince myself I could do it, and it’s easier every time. Good luck.

@@arudd60 That helps tremendously! Thank you so much!

@@arudd60 and @SongsFromTheSaddle - Got it! Tapping the spacers in was the one thing I hadn't already been doing (well, I'm using a swingarm stand, so height wasn't an issue), and that did the trick!
