Title: Please help verify new sprockets & chain info.
Post by: socialDK on October 31, 2009, 03:27:54 PM

I want to be sure I got this right. I plan on going down 1T on the front for better acceleration.

I'm buying
15T front sprocket
39T rear sprocket
520 110 link o-ring chain (brand undecided any suggestions? Bikemaster prices are low for an o ring. Someone suggested a RK)
And if I find a cheap one perhaps a new helmet maybe?

Do I have to buy the master link separately or does the chain come with it?

I used the chain length calculator from the wiki site which said I need a 109 link which isn't available. Does that mean I need a 110 standard chain?

Thanks!

You have everything correct. The chain will come with either a rivet or clip master, but not both.

Thanks. And a follow up question. Do I need a master link tool to properly set the master link for both a clip and rivet link? What is a good master link press tool?

whenever I install a chain, I always buy a second master link. it's easy to have the clip go flying over your head!
