Default Re: Chain and Sprockets where to get them?

I've seen an O ring sealed tsukabi chain last for 72000 miles with a scottoiler fitted, who needs Orings?

The bike in question was a ZZR1100, did about 155k in the end when it was crushed flat by an artic while parked.

Go for steel sprockets.


If in doubt ask spannerman


Ditto Yorkie on all points, especially the one implying that coloured chains are for woolly woofters!
