err, can someone save me some time trawling about for info…what’s the chain to use these days please?..whilst I don’t wanna sound like a Scotsman with a small pocket and big hands,[;)] I am trying to keep the costs of this rebuild as low as possible so don’t really want to get DID Gold or summink,But hey, beggars can’t be choosers. so what’s out there please… and where is it the cheapest?
Thanks.
…and to the rough people North of the Border…have a guid night tonight lads…[^]
Cheers bud…out of interest , which one did you get?..The Racelink or the Triple S chain…?..Had a Triple S last year on the Blackbird and didn’t last 5 minutes…I think it lasted 7,000 miles…[:(]
Im using the racelink chain zero miles as yet so no indication as to how it will last but at under £40 I would happily throw a new one on every year.Good to know you are making progress Tim keep us posted BIF

Here: http://www.gearingcommander.com/ you can make comparisons with different setups. I used that page, when chose new sprockets to F2 with -86 R-engine (different primary ratio)and 150/70 (smaller than original diameter) rear wheel. Now I have 16/43, and rpm:s are OK in 100 kmh speed with acceptable acceleration.
running a 18/43 sprocket set how long should the chain be? 111? 112 link? Running a 17/41 would be pretty close to the same thing as the 18/43, and the chain would be smaller, about 106 link I would think. I’m planning on replacing both sprockets and chains anyways.
