Chain adjustment question
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Hi Simon sprockets are easy to change, if you can change a swing arm you can do front & rear sprockets make sure you buy ones with the same number of teeth.
No special tools need.

They look right - see what Ken or Bryan think before you buy.
Oddjob:
They'll do Simon, however probably cheaper to buy a kit off Ebay to suit. 34T rear sprocket, 17T front, 98 link chain, don't buy an oring chain, a good make like DID with a split link is fine, heavy duty is probably better.
I'll see if I can find one and post a link.

I looked on ebay as the front sprocket at DS is out of stock and I'm baffled ....
