Hi all,

Just wondering what chains and sprockets people are using these days?

I'm due for some new ones.

Cheers.

Got my chains on Ebay (DID) and the sprockets from the Chain Gang in QLD1 

I too get my sprockets from 'The Chain Gang'  good aussie steel made by Aussie's and the quality is right up there.

Top quality chain, supersprox rear and aftermarket front. Picked them all up from the supersprox website for cheaper than just the chain alone retails locally.

I'm all for local business but I don't have any money trees :/

I get my chains and sprockets from here:

http://www.sprocketcenter.com/

I opted for a "quick change" set up which cost a bit more to start with but gives ultimate versatility thereafter.

Prices are hard to beat even with freight!

Hmm, been looking at the chain gang stuff.  Might give them a crack.

AFAM front / Supersprox Stealth Rear
D.I.D. 520ERV3 chain

PS
bought from http://www.sprocketcenter.com ........ highly recommend it

they retail the quick change carriers for less than i buy them for wholesale from a usa supplier.

Wow.  Just did the sums and the sprocket centre is significantly cheaper.  Like the whole package is less than the price of just the chain from the chain gang.
Any ideas on what they charge for shipping?

What size front and rear sprockets are you going to run Rob?

Hi GK,

I've always run a 14 front and a standard 41 rear.

Excuse my ignorance but what is a "quick change carrier"?  Any ideas?

AFAIK it is more relevant for a SSSA bike. The carrier is fixed to the hub, the sprocket fixes to the carrier - with the carrier you can change the sprocket easier (or so the theory goes), as the carrier stays in place. Also should make subsequent changes cheaper as you can re-use the carrier and buy only the replacement 'quick change' sprocket.

But I don't believe you need to bother with any of that for your M900.

sorry, misleading thread jack.  the quick change carrier is for the sss bikes, where the carrier forms the centre part of the original sprocket and the outer toothed part is separate.

back on topic: 14/41 is very short for a close ratio gearbox.

Ok, make that 14/38.  (mental note: count before opening mouth next time)

I have a 40 rear, but still haven't counted the front yet. Loving the close ratio box, but hating the tall gearing at take offs.

Thinking of going a bigger rear by a tooth or two. Thoughts?
