New chain required

Red-Duc · 02-Aug-2006, 18:02

Just had my bike motd (passed) the tester said the chain was getting old and I should look at replacing it within the next 1000 miles or so.

What chain makes would you recomend, also is it worth getting a heavier chain, I understand that you can get sprocket kits to take a heavier chain

Tsubaki. If your chain is currently a 520 I wouldn't bother going to 525.

Im assuming ive got the original size chain would that be a 520?

Tsubaki, I use nothing else.

Havent had to replace one yet and they look very solid which is re-assuring.
