You can just open it with a chain tool and use a rivet link to close it again. It is the same as when your shorten it. If you by a closed chain you have to make sure that you get it in the right length.




In my experience alu sprockets does not last as long as steel. So if you wants longevity 525 and steel, if your wants performance then 520 and leightweight alu :-)

Thank you very much for your aswers! Much appreciated!
I think I go for a 520 chain and perhaps alu
I don't mind changing it a little bit more often..
Don't want to miss any performance
