Chains and sprockets

(1/3) > >>

JustcallmeMrT:
X-ring,  o-ring, heavy duty, standard?  What is the difference and what would you go for?

Also, should I stick to standard sprocket setup or is there a good reason to alter tooth number front or rear?  I will admit complete ignorance as to the effects this has, but have seen threads where people are talking about this.  What's the deal?

Trigger:
Stick to DID heavy duty and STD sprockets. Some of the O' ring chains are a little bit too wide and cut into the engine cases ;) Now, you will get a ton of members saying that X' ring and O'ring are much better ;D ;D ;D

Johnwebley:
I agree with Trigger about chains,

 as for spockets,Wemoto do a good range of gearbox,and rear sprockets,larger and smaller as you need

quite a lot of parts available

It looks like I will have to be the first to say it.  :P
I use them on everything as they take a lot more abuse I very rarely need to grease or adjust mine.
O&X ring are better but not really necessary on these bikes and mine does run very close to the cases.
