my sprocket comes loose alot so i find myself tightening it a few times whenever its about to fall off but i am at the age to where i ride my bike till its almost falling apart before i replace a part. so if i am lucky i tighten it. i also need to replace my grips they are killing my hands.

I prefer Liquid Wrench. Spray it into the grip and slide it on; it's dry in five seconds.
