No, the other chain ("timing chain" in tandem parlance) and those rings are okay because I replaced them not so long ago. The freewheel is good because I replaced it no long ago with one Pastor Bob rebuilt.

Good suggestions though.

I tried to build this bike with as much original or original-like equipment as I could manage. That rear crank is a modern crank cut down to 140mm but the front is original Stronglight. That means I had a spare timing gear, since the rear crank is a modern arm with (I think) 74mm BCD. Eventually I'll have to switch over to newer stuff, I guess.
