Can a wron chain and sprockets affect performance? Like, im not saying like chain slipping on the sprokets worn but like where the chain is loose on the sprockets and you can pull it back a bit on the rear of the sproket. Does this hinder performance?
When the chain breaks it will tend to hinder your performance big-time.
On the other hand, your endo could actually be a good perfomance. But I would suggest the pike position, as it tends to draw more points from the judges.
Kid, just buy a new set before you have to buy new cases. Call Rocky Mountain and get their TITAX sprockets, VERY CHEAP, and an inexpensive chain. I recommend an RK X-ring. About $50
