Buying new C&S.
 

I now have the money to buy a much needed new chain and sprockets. My current one has at least one stiff link and makes a noticeable noise when riding along even after a thorough clean and re-lube.

I currently have 15/45 sprockets but am thinking of getting the standard 15/44 setup for the S model, which I have.

Now I'm sorry if this has already been answered before. It probably has a million times but I'm having to use my PS3 as my laptop has decided to take a break and the PS3's web browser is pretty bad at the best of times.

Now it's time for the all to familiar 'what do you recommend'. So...

What do you recommend?

I'm also going to be buying a Scottoiler to help keep the chain happy.

I will be getting my local trusted garage to fit them but was wondering if you can remove and fit a rivet style chain without removing the swing arm?

Again sorry about the all to common answered a million times questions but using the PS3's web browser is just too much of a PITA. Hopefully have laptop sorted next week but want to order C&S and Scottoiler this weekend if possible.

Thanks in advance.

I will be using someone elses computer to order the parts before someone asks how, given that my laptop has temporarily gone to sleep.

DID if you want a set. About £100 retail

If not B&C express and build a set with a Tubaski chain.

Tsubaki sigma, JT steel sprockets, B and C express.

You can remove any chain, you just whack a grinder through it.

You can fit a rivet link chain without removing swingarm.

Had a look on B&C Express. After putting in the model of my bike I checked the Drive Kits and saw 3.

A Tsubaki Omega O-Ring with Steel Sprockets for £95.44
A Tsubaki Alpha O-Ring with Steel Sprockets for £107.06
A Tsubaki Alpha X-Ring Gold with Steel Sprockets for £114.55

Link 3 - http://www.bandcexpress.co.uk/drive-...ring-gold.html

I like the look of the Gold chains but was wondering if the X-Ring is worth the extra £20 and whats the difference between the Omega and Alpha O-Ring chains?

Thanks.

It's the grade, don't get the cheapest one. The sigma is the higher grade again and costs a bit more.

X rings aren't worth the extra cost.

Re: Buying new C&S.
 

Ah OK. I couldn't find a Sigma O-Ring chain when I had my model selected. Or I'm just blind. I'll have a look again but if I can't see it I'll have search for all chains.

I'll post a link of the one I find as I'm not sure which one I would need. Never had to buy a chain before.

Thanks.

Just ring them...

LOL. Good idea

Re: Buying new C&S.
 

How bad is the old chain as all chains make a noise as they rotate. Stiff links can be sorted out with patience unless theres physical damage - the deciding factor is if the adjusters are at their limit....old chinese proverb: dont spend money unless u have to.
