damn chain

Post by kawazonkey »

I'm running standard 15/45 sprockets and ordered a new chain off ebay. 110 links. Did it fit? Did it fork. Sent it back at a cost of £12.80 so they could take a link out...does it fit? Well yes but almost on maximum adjustment. My bike is an H1 and this company are kicking up a fuss saying they sent the right chain so no refund...I am stumped. Any ideas?

Are you sure you arent doing anything wrong? Theres more than 1 links worth of adjustment in the rear wheel so it should fit.

You need a 520/108 chain.
You bought a 520/110 chain

Your fault, suck it up and apologise to Wemoto.

Arses. So an H1 chain is 106 links I guess. Sod it, it's on and there is about 20mm of adjustment left. It'll do for now, thanks lads.
