Re: [St] New chain needed

["Masiak, Richard" <richard_masiak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

1.  Don't know.  Never bought a set.  I did go with the OEM Front, but just because.  I didn't know about some built in cush drive thing.  As far as the chain goes, I think you'll want to use an X-ring or Z-ring type of chain.  I go for the best price in the technology, I doubt manufacturer matters as much as the type of o-ring technology.

2. Motion-Pro is the bomb.  I got the Jumbo Chain Tool Part # 08-0135  and love it.  Lent it out a couple of times and they like it too.  It breaks and rivets.  I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Subject: [St] New chain needed


After my recent trip to NS, my chain has finally given up the ghost.  It's
served me well though - I clicked through 25K on the way home.

So, couple questions:

1. Where's the best place to buy a chain and sprocket set - someone told me
that the OEM front sprocket was the way to go since it has a built-in cush
drive ?

2. What's the best chain tool (and where's the best place to buy) ?  I was
leaning toward the Motion Pro version but I have heard a few stories about
them breaking so I am a bit leery of them now.

Cheers,

Kevin
