Ok need some advice. I've got a KLX 400 with some dual purpose tyres on, which is good for most things accept going any distance into the akatarawas. Sooooo i have now got my hands on a spare set of wheels with some good knobblies which i can swap on and off dependng on the terrain i'm heading to. My question is should i worrying about swapping rear sprokets everytime i change the back wheel so i always use the same sproket or just change the wheels and not worry about which sproket is on. Now the knobblies will only be used for the occasional ride, say once a month where as the dual purpse wheels stay on the bike most of the time including riding to work. I guess i'm just worried that the sproket on the spare knobblies although only used infrequently could damage my chain etc......any advice would be great.

Cheers
