My Gulf with 10.500 Miles - Noise remained the same since the beginning -Deflection measured at the point of the rear mudguard 30 mm. Overhang on rear sprocket (Supermax) 1 mm Tried Omega 85/140 Super EP Gear oil but didn't make any differences in noise compared to normal oil. Now Redline which also makes no differences. Noise diference with Supermax compared to original alu sprocket not noticeable (for bevelbox noise) Sprocketnoise is now much less. When cold a bit noisy but not too bad. When hot screaming at certain loads but (sometimes) (very) quiet when load is getting a bit more or a bit less.
Rineke's M3W with 8.750 Miles - Noise remained the same since the beginning -Deflection measured at the point of the rear mudguard 25 mm. Overhang on rear sprocket (Supermax) 2 mm Tried Omega 85/140 Super EP Gear oil but didn't make any differences in noise compared to normal oil. Now Redline which also makes no differences. Noise diference with Supermax compared to original alu sprocket not noticeable (for bevelbox noise) Sprocketnoise is now much less. Bevel box when cold a bit noisy but not too bad. When hot screaming at certain loads but sometimes quiet when load is getting a bit more or a bit less. If compared the two cars the loads when the box is quiet is not the same ! E.g. when I'm driving 105 km/hr steady with certain wind Gulf box is quiet but Rineke's box is screaming at exact same speed. This box has now an small oil leak problem at the incoming shaft but will first look if this remains the same or will get worse.
