New chain costs

[Katie]

Following a serious rust incident (didn't realise my Scottoiler had turned itself off!), and despite a good clean up, I think it's time to replace my chain and sprockets. Have seen a DID 525 ZVMX set (JT sprockets) for sub ?140. Aiming for longevity rather than lightweight, does that sound good value?

How many links do you need ?

they are 97gbp on ebay

The deal I was looking at is 120 links with 17/45 sprockets.

Sadly, C&S detail sticks in my head as well tax law (badly) so I'm at the sellers mercy on what works well!

Very shiny, unlike my chain!


So, ?138 inc. delivery for the C&S, reckon it's good value? Or should I hold out for the Regina chain to be available for a 2018 model?

Doesn't seem that expensive to me.. I got a cracking deal on a chain and ended up with two D.I.Ds last year, offered it on the forum for the 50 quid I paid for it and there were NO takers lol.. a decent chain is anywhere between 80 to 120 quid plus sprockets.. so 138 sounds fine..

I put Supersprox sprockets on mine and they seem excellent so far.

Imo did or RK chains if you want them to last.

Race renthal sprockets. Road I'd be more inclined towards steel sprockets

 

[Flyingscotsman]

Renthal or Supersprox for sprockets

 

[Katie]

Great, thanks all

DID ZVMX chain is best (IMO), supersprox rear, ally ones don't wear as well, steel front, I got one with the sound deadener on, last set did about 16000 miles
