Thanks guys.

Walt,
This strange idea came from the fellow at the local Kaman Bearing house. He is believable and reliable. Being a young sprout, I've found its often VERY worthwhile to listen to my elders, who have "been around the block".

Gerald,
I can see the logic of "wear every tooth", makes sense to me. Of course, we could always shift the chain by one tooth and wear a different part of the even-tooth sprocket. (Like we'd remember to move the chain!)

Rod,
In my case, the chain and the other sprocket appear in fine shape. We purposely went to a standard pitch sprocket for three reasons - price, availability, and future flexibility. The double-pitch chain rides in the standard pitch sprocket just fine, in the future (if the other sprocket fails) we will upgrade to standard chain.

Don,
Thanks for clarifying the terminology. I just knew better than to call it a pulley or shiv. (grin).

Nathaniel
