OK.. replaced my old chain today.. both front and rear STOCK sprockets are still in good shape... installation was not that bad...but when adjusting the rear wheel.. I expect (was hoping) to move all the way to the other end.. but it is only haft way there with 2cm of free play now.  Chain I got DID 520 110 from chaparral-racing.

Can you move the wheel all the way with new chain and new sprockets?  Or I just worry too much?  Test ride around the blocks was ok.

I don't think you have anything to worry about, keep your eye on the adjustement and then settle into checking it every 600m/1000k. Convention wisdom says change chain and sprocket at same time but if the sprocket is good, what the heck.

In Cricket the testicular guard, or Box, was introduced in 1874. The helmet was introduced in 1974. Is there a message??

i generaly hack off just enough links to start my adjustments at 1/4 the way back from front.
Accelerate like your being chased, Corner like you mean it, Brake as if you life depends on it.
Ride Hard...or go home.

I thought about that too...

Another question, what's the setting of brand new bike? or I should just go to dealer to take a look?
