My 11spd lg 700 Cues cassette wont take with a new chain, bottom 3 sprockets which get most of the use are gone after under 6 months, not sure on the mileage but it doesn’t seem to last any better than anything else.

Anyone know if these sprockets are available as spares? looked on SJS / freewheel etc but can’t find any.

I see the forum SW is working perfectly again!

Weird. Got the fairly common Gateway message, then when page finally reloaded, it replicated my reply. Sorry!

Also - would be worth getting a bigger chainring if the smallest sprockets are most commonly used - you’ll get better wear out of all parts that way.

Thanks, looks like Germany or Switzerland dont have them in stock either. Have already put a bigger chainring on, biggest the chainstay will allow.

Current chain is nowhere near 0.75% stretch. Ebikes need gearboxes.

Can you space the ring out from the spider to go bigger? Chainline in lowest gears will suffer obviously, but doesn’t sound like they get used so much?

No, not with Bosch. E13 chainring does have quite a dish already.

Does it still work ok with the old chain?

It does work with old chain, wanted to put a new one on to prolong its life but looks like I was too late. I think 2 or 3 chains in rotation my be in order next time.
