Something I don't have to worry about just yet. Anyway, the bike would have reached 100.000 km on a clock by then so will be close to it's retirement time.
More grinding and welding? Maybe, why not. It's effective, I feel safer than with a silly retaining circlip I supposed to use and it's inexpensive.
Minuses:
-pain to take off and replace (good welder is needed)
-can damage the bike when changing
Beside these I have no problem with a welded sprocket. It gives me a peace of mind.
The current weld seems like it would be easy to remove, so I reckon it should be relatively easy to change for another sprocket if needed.
In my humble opinion I can continue like this for some time. Not an ideal situation, but suits me just fine.
Thanks for your previous advice, luckily it wasn't as bad as you thought.
