Title: Time for a new chain, but...
Post by: airheadPete on April 06, 2014, 07:17:37 PM
Ok, I'm sure this is simple. (If I were only at home...)
I've decided my chain is ready for the recycling bin, so I think I'll get that EK ZZZ chain you guys like. The question is how many links; (what length)?
It wasn't until I was on my work road trip that I noticed that necessary detail. Sorry, too many shaft-drive bikes in the garage. :dash2:
I assume that I need to buy a riveted master link separately, they're not included in the chain? :unknown:
I know I'll be buying the chain riveting tool.
The plan is to order it while I'm on the road, so that by the time I, (hopefully), get home next week, it'll be waiting for me. Yes, I'll be replacing both sprockets too. Currently running a 40 rear and a ??? front.

The sprockets will come from Randy, (I was hoping he'd stock a chain also, but no-see-um. :sorry:)
Thanks for the assistance. And abuse. :pardon:

This one's for free. After this, you will need to be wearing your flame suit.
Chains have been discussed many many many times. Using the search function would show this.

Many thanks Pat.
It's invigorating to feel the hot breath of flames wafting past my ears.
Next time, I'll be wearing my helmet and nomex.
