This is for guys that simply can't stand for their bike to have 'goofy' parts that cause drag and/or chain throwing issues with their pocketbikes that seemingly have NO explanation at all... :yes:
Oftentimes, Guys will buy a 'new' pinion and install it and then have issues no matter what when they try to 'adjust' their chain alignment to run correctly and 'true'... :innocent:
Sadly... Pinions that are not of a very good quality may oftentimes come 'tweaked'...
Pinions CAN very easily be checked before they are installed and this WILL save you much grief later on down the road friends... :cool:
Please see the pics below of the 'Cornholio Pinion Checking Tool'...
FWIW, My 'pinion tool' was made entirely in the USA using only the finest of wood scraps, a coathanger, some alphatic resin wood glue, and some 1 1/4" drywall screws... The 'optional features' of this tool include a feeler guage to help measure the 'out of roundness', a flashlight hook in the front to help me see, some Jorgensen hand clamps for easily mounting to any surface, and a special 'beer can resting area' in the back for my 40...
We are very big on 'recycling' around here and ALL of the materials used here both CAN and WILL be used for aother purposes as well friends... :yes:
IamCornholio (and please notice that there is a capital 'C' in my name here friends... That is very important to me friends as I DO have a reputation to protect...)
