Sprockets & chain noise help!

I'm sure it's nothing a decent impact driver and a flank-drive socket wouldn't sort out.

Very little chance of a g/b sprocket bolt shearing in use, as the sprocket is splined on to to the shaft

Ahaa, thank you - so my rear sprocket was fitted incorrectly by the previous owner - now corrected.

Ref the front sprocket bolt; I was trying to undo it to inspect & find the source of the noise but it is really tight (my 1st post) & I can't undo it, I have sheared my 3/8 short extension & don't have a good 14mm 1/2 socket with a hex - getting a socket isn't a problem, I don't need to remove it yet as such but one day I will....
If someone has used high strength stud lock & I shear the head off I'm stuffed!

not always phil, could always weld a socket or bar to it as a last resort.

Phew - sorted!
Just as I thought it was going to shear it cracked off & I could unscrew it.
The chain sounds smoother now anyway must've been the rear speocket on wrong!

Cheers for the replies, Phil
