Thanks Javier and Greenzero. I appreciate the quick responses. Good advice. Yes, I am replacing both front and rear sprockets with the new chain. Although the sprockets do not appear to be deformed or overly worn, this forum is full of warnings from everyone, "replace both sprockets when replacing the chain". Thanks again guys. Don't want to loose my momentum. Brian
