Mr. Kidney Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 I got a mod, but the chain is crusty, tarty bikes seems to have different sizes next to the chains, does this matter ? where should I measure ? Also, which tools do I need to fit a chain ? any links to stuff would be great. cheers Id recommend the KMC Z510HX 1/8" Chain if your looking for a new one. Ive ran mine for a good 5 months now and its only just begun to show signs of needing replacing. Make sure you buy a high quality chain tool to prevent any difficulties fitting the chain Fat Spanner do some petty decent tools Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
