I got my spare 500 rear wheel wednesday night, fixed a bearing problem, messed with spacing it on the 03s extentions and making bushings. Instead of running the 19" with a millville i ran a teraflex and took a guess that i could get away with 14/51 sprockets, i should have been 53 rear, buy anyways.
I had a decent run going, then spit the chain off just before this little ledge and well, the gopro'll show the rest

it looks pretty lame compared to how i remembered it, hahaha
I'd gave it a good yank to try and lift it when it didnt on its own, pecs were hurtin a bit yesterday just reachin for the phone.
I knew the chain went and was just hoping i got a graceful dismount before it piled up on the wheel to send it over backwards

I also have to mention that there was only 1 bike in the event that was not extended, an '09 KTM450 ridden by the lil cuz to a 3rd place finish in the 450 class, which also got him into the exhibition hill for next years climb, i think they took the top 20 or something.

Go Tera Flex!
I love Tera Flex.
My poor 500 is sitting with a 14/50 combo right now cause I can't afford to buy it a proper sprocket.
I was thinking more around the lines of a 14/52 for it. :-)
