Good afternoon all, I’ve just replaced my chain and both sprockets at 10,000 miles. Easy enough job and damned glad I did as stock chain was minced, and adjusted well into the red.
I fitted DID GVX ring 520, with rental sprockets, 15 tooth stock at the front, but decided on 39 (stock -2) at the rear.
My query is this....with the new 112 link chain fitted, I’m still in the red. I half expected this because I’ve lost two teeth and therefore 2 links of space from the drive train. I don’t really know how much adjustment space I will have, so will there be any issues running the axle this far back? Should I take 2 links out, and just for yet another master link, to bring the axle forward into the green again?
There was an amazing amount of gunk under the front sprocket, and it’s so much smoother riding now, I’m also under the impression that the 5% speed adjustment should have pulled the Speedo closer to true. I’ll run GPS speed to find that out and post what I find...
Any advise gladly received.
