hey all I need a new chain and sprocket set,

Is there any in particular people have found to be long lasting and particulary good on the X/R XT's????? i have done 10,000 miles on mine since september and the chain and sprocket are so dead I have to move my wheel back a turn each time I ride!

Also if i want to make my bike that little bit faster do i put an extra toothe on the front and rear sprockets?



taa all

m and c express in london do chain and sprockets but i bought a set from them and the chain was fine untill it just all of a sudden it just let go and got longer with every ride. At the moment ive a DID chain and it seems to be holding up rightly.

as for changing the gearing if you want more speed then the cheaper idea would be a 16 tooth from sprocket as its cheaper but ive gone down 2 teeth on the back sprocket (similar to a 16 tooth up front) and it allows you to sit at 75mph (gps) alot better but you do cut a good bit of your acceleration but im not too worried at the moment as im touring but when i get back home i think i will return to the standard gearing

Supersprox 45 Tooth rear sprocket - steel teeth and ali body.

A little more expensive than stock factory fitted, but they will last much longer and look soooo much better

Drop me a PM if you want more info

Blimey!!

I've covered nearly 15,000 on mine and still they have only needed 'one mark' of adjustment..
