Disaster!

ok cool.

ive just had alook at those chains and the one i have says 527 on it. and rl. Those chains seem to be in 520 and 530. Am i right in presuming this is the length? So i need the 530 one right?

Would anyone care to post the link for the on they think i need?

Also seeing as its done under 1400 miles do you think i should still replace it as a set? if its like 20 quid more im thinking it might be an idea so at least i know ive got something decent on there?

Lastly the nut on the rear sprocket took a battering. is this replaceable or is it part of the hub?

ok lookin like 525.

so any ideas what the diff s between an economy and oring chain?

Hi, i have worm gear and push rod, do you need them.

You may be alright in replacing just the chain, but inspect the sprockets for damage. If in doubt, replace as a set. The nut on the sprocket is replacable; the stud part might be a differant story, I'm not sure!

The stud for the rear sprocket is indeed replacable, just pull the sprocket carrier off the wheel and you'll see it from the inside

I had my chain snap on my Triumph, smashed a big hole in the crankcase, nasty job to repair, my mate had to weld a new piece into the hole. (Lucky he's a shipyard plater!)

this seems more like it?

Don't bother with Renthal stuff as hardened steel one's last as long as you chain will and you will be replacing them both at the same time next time.

Bought myself a new worm drive (£30) from Powersport in Bradford just before crimbo as some of my ball bearings have gone missing from mine, I just need to pick it up now. Also if you need any parts they can order them in for you there (ie Sprocket nut and stud)

I sort of cheat when fitting chains that need rivits. I cut the chain down etc with my dremmel and then squash the plate on with a small metal g clamp and mini socket, then to rivet it I use a small drift or similar to flange out the pins. I have done my chain 3 times like this and it's been fine. But don't take my word on this!!!

Also if you need a portable Impact Wrench Santa brought me one early as the split link snapped on my chain in November and I picked myself up the socket to fit the front sprocket. Your only down the road so if you need that I can pop down!!! Just don't know where you live!!!.

PM me if you need
