someone on here got cheap chain and sprockets and I was wondering if they're worth using I don't see the point in buying good ones twice as I will put new ones on when it comes to the rebuild so if the cheap ones have been a good buy then I will get them and then I can play with the gearing for cheaper see what I prefer

What do you call cheap? Fitted Afam set to my red 88 bike and not expensive, around the 50 quid mark, Just ordered DID xring set from M&P for the 89 bike for 68 quid (roughly?)
Afam set had JT sprockets, not sure DID set, due Monday. -

Interesting to see what he says, had a bike with cheap stuff on before and chain stretched like an elastic band, could be his are different though?

Yeah I've had cheap stuff before and they don't last. But Terry has already said he's not expecting it to last.
My advice would be to get used Renthals perhaps. Must be plenty of people that get the sizes wrong and have spares.

Either way I love them the chain is really good quality I’ve got it on 2 of my bikes is gold and nickel coloured the sprockets were also really good no sign of wear on any of my drive train

Think I ended up ditching the 520 conversion opting for a lighter Tsukaba chain set.
High quality set, think I paid a lot more than this,

@declan Style over substance mate. My bike was all about style.
It also never stretched, highly durable.

so realistically you done it once as there normally a bit of stretch not long after fitting how many mile you done since putting it on

I have DID vx2 520 on mine. On a bike like the Dt, it will never go bad when looked after.
Well worth the peace of mind when im far from home, and for me, cheaper in the long run. -
