DIY chain and sprocket replacement

[stephencassidy]

Need to change my chain and sprockets (old one extremely worn). Is this a job I can do myself? Just called my local bike shop and they want £105 for a DID kit and £40 to fit. If I get a DID kit from ebay is it easy to replace and can I get away with using a chain tool from ebay like this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MOTORCYCLE-UNIVERSAL-O-RING-X-RING-CHAIN-ASSEMBLY-TOOL_W0QQitemZ310121483489QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Mo torcycle_Parts?hash=item4834ae4ce1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 or is something more professional required...

Thanks

Good afternoon.

That tool looks to be for pressing on the sideplate only, for pressing & rivetting you will need one like this.

It appears to be a copy of the genuine DID tool, although somewhat cheaper. I have seen these in the past, & they look ok for home use.


Cheers.
