Chain & sprockets - where do you buy yours?

#1 Post by dyzio » Fri Jul 10, 2009 7:37 pm

The chain on the bike has developed a nasty tight spot (I blame the previous owner), I'll try to clean it properly, maybe it'll help but I'm preparing myself for some shopping :smt013

I'll be getting some steel sprockets and probably a Tsubaki sigma chain. Don't want to go 1 tooth down on the front, instead I'm thinking about going 2 teeth up on the rear.
The problem is that most places I've checked offer only 42t rear sprockets. I've read the people have 43's even 44's but I can't find any.

Any idea where I could get a 43 tooth rear sprocket?

Cheers

I'm in the same boat but less sure of what route to go. Probably stay standard this time round. I have no experience of this company but they do offer a 43 tooth rear.http://www.bandcexpress.co.uk/cgi-bin/b ... av=Aprilia

I've read good things about them, found a "Optional size Silver rear 43t" - wonder if it's steel or alloy :smt017

renthal do one


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...
