Hi all, just installed a single speed sprocket on the other side of a track wheel - right hand side in the pic. When attempting to tighten, the chainwhip (1/8" chain specific) kept slipping off and upon closer inspection I noticed that the tooth profile is almost completely flat in comparison to teeth of the original sprocket on the left side which recede to a point. Teeth on all other sprockets I have are as per left hand side and I've never had issues with the chainwhip slipping off during any previous installations. Now I'm wondering if the right hand sprocket hasn't been machined properly and how this will affect chain engagement, or if it could damage the chain? It's VeloSolo brand if it helps. Thanks for any assistance :-)
