325 ft-lbs for the DeWalt wrench.

Anything that won't move with that torque, can be cut off.

Sounds plenty although my 12V one is 210Nm Max...don't know what that equates to in ft-lbs mind.

I want to ask how much but not sure I want to know

325 ft-lbs is 439Nm give or take (1.35Nm/ft-lb).

£300 + P&P.

It's handy having an uncle like mine that buys serious tools & doesn't mind them growing legs for a while.

£160 is for the best chain money can buy (apparently)...

What do you think to getting the stealth product I linked to? Any reason I shouldn't?

Bah hope there arnt any reasons I shouldnt. Ive just ordered one. I guess for £80 I cant go toooo far wrong, oh and a 12000 miles guarantee (12 months) Should last me a year. It is an X-ring.

http://www.stealthproducts.co.uk/products/sprocket.php Ill let you know if its some good, then you can all join the saving, as they are VERY cheap :S

Why do you think your chain needs adjusting a lot? What are the possible causes of that symptom?

Lots of millage, 70lb-ft of torque. It only got bad on the adjustment in the last 2K of its life . It needed adjusting liturally after 100 miles trip... I did manage nearly 16K out of the chain which isnt too bad. I think most people say past 15K and your are doing well. Your new bike will be the same ill guess when you get to the 15K mile mark.

In the first 2000 miles of this new chain no adjustment needed as yet. Though It is slackening a little... so might need a little nip soon.
