took the bike for a ride, short one but it feels fine, no difference, except no clunking got to ride it a while to see if anything changes. I'm happy right now. heres the pics, but again, hard to tell anything here
It goes into gear smoothly and "normally" no noticeable differences from the se comp. basically everything seems fine. I will be riding around a lot today, so I will update this later on today
well.,I put about a hundred and twenty miles on today, bike is great, seems to find neutral much easier than even when the SE comp was new. bike has no driveline clunk and even dropping into gear seems smoother. Its new, happy with it so far. how long it lasts, I hope it stays like this forever, its that good. Time will tell. at this point I would recommend it, I just can't say how long it will last. on the other hand, the SE one lasted about 2 years. this one won't bang and 100.00 cheaper
Thanks for the pictures and the quick report of your ride!
I'm on my second comp sprocket, which is the first edition SE comp sprocket that came out. Going on 3 years and "knock on wood" everything is fine. Just thinking ahead.
Keep us posted on the longevity, hopefully it will be the LAST one that you will need!

Hey Charlie, any updates on this? It's been two weeks, I was hoping you would have put some more miles on the BDL by this time and could give us another report.
