Front forks and other bits, where to buy?

Trigger:
You need a chain and sprocket kit, as you need a front sprocket and the pitch must match.

Hi trigger that's the set up that wemoto recommended me, to be honest I'm completely lost.

I just want a new chain and sprocket for weekend use and standard as I'm not changing the front sprocket.

Thanks

Not replacing the front sprocket is a very false economy, unless it is already a brand new one.

Trigger:
+ 1 with Hairy. If you leave the old front sprocket on, it will wear the chain faster (old parts wear out new parts with movement). Better to have a chain and sprocket kit.

matthewmosse:
Another +1 on doing the sprocketts and chain as a set, though I do sometimes run 2 chains to 1 set of sprocketts if the old sprocketts are hardly worn ( genrally if you economise and buy a cheap nasy chain) I wouldn't ecpect to get away with just doing the rear and not the front as the front sprockett turns about 4 times as often as the rear so theoretically will wear out faster.
