Nytro track-gear bolt

[jlowe]

How many of you have had the bolt that keeps the lower gear-shaft in place inside the chaincase break? I know there was a recall, but my original bolt broke and now the replacement bolt broke which led to my chain-grenade last week. didn't know if anyone was running a different kind of bolt that is holding up better.

thanks.

Mine did not break all last season, than this year when I went to swap my track it was broken, How did that bolt cause the chaincase to grenade? From what I have seen the bolt head cannot fall into the chaincase on the reverse models.

it looks like the bolt broke and the shaft loosened up enough to wobble a bit. that wobble caused the chain to come into contact with the bottom of the case and left wear marks. over time, the whole thing got enough play in it that when i chopped it hard it snapped the chain.

Bolt wont cause the case to grenade...ran mine all last season and evertime I took a look in there the bolt was broke....I check my chain ten every ride and change the oil lots....threw a new chain in this year also...2000kms so i thought it was time.
