Chain/Rear Wheel questions (long post)

I did a quick google and came up with this.

I'm sure if you google further you may find better examples.

Cheers I will take a look that way I don't need to worry about whether 1/3 of a turn affected it !

One of those magnetic laser beam thingies from B+Q stuck to the sprocket and lined up along the chain does well too - it's what I use on the race bike. Daytonas have single sided swing arms, so the rear wheel never goes out of line

Yes indeed. One of those are on my wish list. Wish Mrs Ape would bloody spend some time and read that list one day.

Are you on about the B+Q thingy or the Daytona. I can highly recommend both.

Funnily enough I just replaced my chain and sprockets due to some tight spots. Also did it on the old curvy. Took it out earleir tonight. What a difference - gearchanges are much smoother and easier and there's none of that horrible cyclic clunking at low speeds.

The laser thingy. Not the Daytona. As nice a bike as it may be, not my cup of tea.

Anyhow, if I had that on my wish list (the Daytona) she would think I was just being stupid and definitely wouldn't look at the rest of the list.

The Daytona doesn't feel that far removed from a big V-twin. It makes its power in a similar way, low down with huge great gobs of torque, but it also has the power of an inline 4 - 147bhp. The best of both worlds with a touch of exclusivity and patriotism. V-twin lovers usually get on well with them.
