Where to buy chains online?

Im looking at getting a chain soon. Just wondering where I can get chain and sprockets seperate for a half decent price? Im looking at a 110 link 525 chain with 16tooth front sprocket and 43 rear.

Preferably keeping the cost as close to £100 as possibly.

Other thing is, is it worth going for X ring over O ring? I'd imagin as long as the only difference is the seals and not the links used then with my Scottoiler a O ring would be fine as the scottoiler oil will get in past the seals and keep it all well oiled.

Anyone with the knowledge?

O ring is fine but get a heavy grade one. I reckon Tsubaki sigma grade. b and c express.

You snapped that iris already nick? Only fitted it in february.
I like DID stuff, heavy duty goldy, oring ones are about £70 with steel sprockets if you have a gander on ebay for a shop. Mine were from manhattan's in sheffield. Or pm leedsmatt he's recently got one.

Problem I seem to be having is that most sites seem to just sell sets and the Sprockets I want are smaller. I want to reduce the gearing a little...

Its only a tiny bit more for X ring it seems... £6 lol.

Find the number and give them a ring and ask for the sprockets in a different size.

Yea I can do that I guess

Dave, the IRIS is doing great tbh. Scottoiler has kept it fine for the 9K miles its done so far.

The reason for looking for a new chain is that I am goin to be putting an RSV swing arm on the bike but I have to break the chain to put it thought the swing arm. Im not so sure its a good idea to break a chain then put it back together... What you think?

I'd do it... but I'm tight. You have access to a chain riveter/breaker tool right?

[yorkie_chris]

Yeah I'd do it, just fit a new soft link in place.

B and C wil do you all the wierd sprocket sizes. Give them a shout.

Got a breaker. Might do that then. Easy enough to do. Just have to talk to my old man about where he got the current chain from, im sure they should have a soft link for the IRIS chain... I hope.

Cheers for the info. I know what to go for when I do need it. Think at this rate this chain should be good for 15K miles + Scottoilers are great!

If you're looking for somewhere to spend that £60 odd you just saved I fancy a few bits for my bike
