I thought I would upgrade my spockets to the newer GT's but I have a problem. I am have trouble with the chains seating on the new sprocket. The chains will fit one side up to the master cog but have trouble fitting down the other side.

Any help will be appreciated

It's a bear to get the old chains into the new teeth....I swear Hobie made the teeth slightly larger...but it will go with enough grunting and swearing.
I recall you must "center the chain" on the sprocket in order for it to fit. All I can say is don't give up!

Seat the master first (that's the hardest one to do) then work your way out both sides one link at a time. Mark your middle link with a Sharpie so you don't accidentally seat the wrong link. 8)

Thanks for the advice. I thought I was doing something wrong and didn't want to mess it up. I was successful eventually. What a difference just cycling it in my hands. I can hardly wait toget the new set up wet.
