That's exactly why I have never seen these as a must-have, that plus the anal compulsions I have about excess weight & spending $$.... but...
I have found that some of the replacement gears aren't offset as are the originals. At that point the options are an adjustable gear... or the obvious...

with slightly retarded timing

: I question the need for one of these:-
: You can't adjust them without
: dismantling the front of the engine -
: unless you make a removeable plate for
: the front of the timing cover.
: Triumph designed the standard sprocket
: to allow fine adjustment, by bolt holes
: offset from the tooth centres. The
: wheel has 42 teeth, so that's one tooth
: per 4.29 degrees of crankshaft turn -
: call it four and a quarter. Then,
: rotating it 90 degrees on the camshaft
: allows it to be changed by half a tooth
: - 2.125 degrees. Then turn it
: back-to-front and bolt back in the same
: position for a quarter tooth change -
: one degree and a fraction far too small
: to be useful.
: What more do you want?

: Can anyone recommend a source for an

: equipped with a dual row chain - TR6,
: GT6 or Spit.
