Chain and sprocket options
Hi all,
Just wondering about changing my chain and sprockets. 2001 748s so I assume 14/38T on a 94 link 520 pitch chain (dark outside, garage locked, can't be arsed to look!).
I wouldn't mind going up to 40 on the rear to gain a few more revs per mph - not particularly for better acceleration, but to make town riding a bit easier (I did a similar thing on my Monster and it just made lower speeds easier to cope with).
Questions are:
Where is a good place to buy them? Would like a gold chain and pretty rear sprocket ideally. Renthals I assume require a carrier at 100 odd quid so I have read on B+C Express. Are there other manufacturers recommended?
Will I need to go for a 96 link chain?
What will this do to my ride height? I have recently had it set up properly so am a bit reluctant to undo this work.
Cheers in advance
