Exactly. No breakdowns here in Scandinavia. I saw same pictures on one FB group as was posted here, thats it. I feel somebody is trying to create some chaos and panic.
In North America, is there Rexnord Aurora chains or something else?
The Lynx is the rexnord aurora in NA on the pics that was shared with me.
I’m not trying to down play any concern anyone may have, as a mechanical tradesperson, in my experience, I unfortunately look at all aspects to failures and potential inconsistencies of parts actually installed in sleds. Some guys may have Hyvo or the Rexnord aurora in their G5s and they do not know it.
Just last week after having a conversation with a buddy with a G5, he rode brand new sled almost 140miles without checking his chain once until it slipped on a climb than he tightened it. I noticed mine needed tightening after 30miles, just saying there is always another side to a story.
I appreciate all of the info shared thus far, it’s a big shoulder tap for Everyone, and to the Manufacturers. I do remember when the 2017 850 came out and some reported brittle Smodules and bracing in 2018 was added.
Tom at TKI knows his stuff, I have dealt with him on one of his very first belt drives.
I know what chain and sprocket is in my sled. Am I doing the Hyvo and shaft upgrade?, at the moment it’s a real possibility, I did not like the dual spline Idea when it was released last year. After I do a visual inspection and take some measurements with everything loose, I will make that decision at a later date.
