Very, very carefully.

No more than 1/4 throttle, easy shifts and crossed fingers.

I hope you picked up a new chain to go with that sprocket.

How many miles on that sprocket? What type of maintenance intervals were used on it?

Yeah no shit!! Renthol FTW

Cause your vortex looks just like the one I use to have.

But I was smart enough to not buy another!!

The greatest question of all time right here.




I would NEVER EVER EVER buy a Vortex sprocket. I've seen way too many of those pieces of shit look like that. That should not happen to a sprocket EVER!
