Frequently Asked Questions
Chain comes pre-stretched but always check and adjust slack after 50-100 miles of riding.
Yes, includes clip-style and rivet-style master links for permanent install.
Designed as complete kit; confirm tooth count matches your gearing needs (14F/42R standard).
X-ring sealed for better lubrication retention and longevity.
Installation Guide
Tools Required
- socket set (8-19mm)
- chain breaker tool
- torque wrench
- chain lube
- rubber mallet
Pro Tips
- Break in new chain by riding easy first 100 miles, re-lube after. Use thread locker on sprocket bolts. Measure chain slack at tightest point (1-1.25 inches slack typical).
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Incorrect chain routing
- Not torquing sprocket bolts properly (spec: 40-45 ft-lbs)
- Over-lubricating chain
Comparison vs Stock/OEM
OEM chains stretch quickly and lack sealing; stock sprockets wear fast under abuse
Improvements
- Higher tooth count for low-end torque
- X-ring chain lasts 2-3x longer
- Hardened steel resists wear
- Narrower 520 chain reduces weight by ~20%
Considerations
- Lower gearing may reduce top speed slightly
