'sup, all!

well, tonight i had my first major mechanical.




i ride...rode a six speed. the fifth cog, well half of it at least, cracked right off of the freewheel. in the hopes it would ride i tried shifting the injured bike into a different gear and it caught. sweet! hopped on, tested it out and it rode fine. the rest of the cog dropped off somewhere else along the ride; good thing i still have the old freewheel from my road bike. and, that begs the question; i've ridden the SR freewheel on my ST500 before. it works fine. shifts well, but the chain ticks on every tooth. the road freewheel seems much sharper. i assume that either the chain will wear and the clicking will stop, or the teeth on the freewheel will wear down resulting in the same outcome. i'm worried that the chain will take the brunt of the damage here and break. it's already jumping on the smallest cog since the mechanical tonight. i can't load for a sprint on it without it jumping every other revolution or two. since the chain is already jumping should i even try combining it with a sharper freewheel?
