chain and sprockets

[Calum]

@terry-tz Having had both, I don't know whether I'd recommend it.

Reliability wise it was spot on. But then so is a high quality 428 pitch chain, without the extra drag associated with the heavier chain.

I know we're talking very minute figures, but why have the extra drag, for maybe some more reliability.

@calum it's more difficult to maintain your chain miles from home ok there is shops up and down the country but its the hassle

[Calum]

@terry-tz I've had cheap chains stretch on me sure. But I haven't had a high quality 428 chain stretch on me so bad on a single journey that I couldn't make it home. If it were that bad they wouldn't have been standard on the DT.

@calum am not about a single journey if I ride to Manchester and ride to work every day for 4 weeks before returning and the chain is 1/2 2/3 through its life sh!t could happen

Chains doesnt stretch, they wear. I have 28.000km on a 520 Did vx2 chain on my xt600... Imagine the reliability on a Dt
