And for me, personally, replace the sprockets with the chain. It's like replacing only one gear in a differential because it is the only one with broken teeth. The chain and sprockets wear in together and putting a new chain on old sprockets is only going to shorten the life of the new chain.
Appreciate the information Randy. I am living back in 1983 when there were no O ring chains so I dont know anything about them. It could be the chain never saw I drop of lube over the years until I got it. I just dont know. Or maybe age has gotten to the o-rings? It 11-12 years old now. I am with you on replacing all of it all at once though. I wont cut a corner on something like that.
