New drive chain.

[Scott221]

Need a new chain for the kwak. Can anybody recommend a good one?

[zxr_oli]

I have a Renthal one on mine, seems pretty good.
Although its gone from gold to black

[jake]

i use tsubaki race ones on mine. Seem ok to me, and cheap if i remember

[Scott221]

What lengths do i need then fellas? Its a 520 isnt it?

[jake]

erm.. im pretty sure i took off 2 links off the 120 chain. but thats on a 14/48..
im not sure what length standard gearing is ...

actually, im not sure at all...tbh!
not much help then

[masterofinsanity]

standard L model chain is a 520 x 110 link endless.

[Scott221]

Yep thats it. Just ordered a Tsubaki. £50!!!!


One hell of an expensive season.

i've always preferred Tsubaki chains over DID, i get more miles out of the tsubaki x-links, they dont stretch as much and dont require you to be on the ball with the chain lube to prevent it kinking up when it does start to get a little looser..

[tobomoto]

what about sprockets? im after some anodised ones and a blue chain (sad, but i dont care!). any ideas who makes them? is it renthal only?
