I'm looking at Sidewinder's website and given their highest tensile strength 'smart chain' at 520 is stronger than the 530 chains from DID and EK... and not much more expensive... Got cheap sources for chain breakers? Gonna need one of those too. |

Or a Dremel/side-grinder works well, but takes a bit of care. I agree on not skimping on the chain - though that $45 one is probably just fine for street/commuter-duty & a great deal if it's up-to-snuff. But wearing out a bit quicker is one thing, breaking a link is another. In my mind, it's somewhat of an unknown as to the actual quality (material/heat-treating - and I'm guessing it's made in China), and given the potential consequences of slinging a chain I'll stick with a top-notch established mfg. vs. saving ~$50 over 10~20k miles. I'd recommend always replacing both sprox - you can't eyeball wear of just a few thousandths, and that's all it takes to wear out the chain much quicker. |

AFAM ftw, imo....
Their aluminum sprockets are hard-adonized.......I got 18K out of a set.........so there is no reason NOT to use aluminum IMO, especially if you are just commuting, not putting much of a load on it. |
