chain & sprocket kits, what's best ?

#1 PostAuthor: neil.p » Tue Apr 29, 2008 11:46 am

Digging the trusty Z out for a spin down to the Ace I noticed that the rear chain has got a split link in it. It's probably a legacy of some lazy bugger not wanting to do the job properly, I want to replace the chain and reckon I may as well replace the sprockets at the same time. What do you guys recommend
chain wise ? Thanx for the help, regards Neil.P

I think you have to go a long way to beat DID. I think Z Power do 'em

Ok, DID sounds like the one to have, I take it there is no problem fitting an 'O' ring chain ? Seen X ring chain talked about but must admit to not having a clue what it is, thats kind of a legacy of having British stuff I guess.
Thanks for your input so far, regards Neil.

If you are still running a 630 how about considering the change to 530. B & C do a conversion that includes the spacer for the front sprocket.

The 530 are easily up to it. I have only adjusted mine twice in 3,000 miles and found benefits such as better gear change and less noise. Chain brand is Tsubaki X ring by the way.
