Cutting the Chain

[cdoskocil9]

So if I cut the stock chain to work with my new sprocket how do I get it back together???

[Blizzard24]

you would need a masterlink

[jlrenken]

u will have to buy a connector link but depending how much time u have on your chain i would just replace it

[cdoskocil9]

Ok so were do I get a masterlink? And what size? Any reccomendations on a new chain? I have no idea how long to get the new sprockets are 13 and 39

[jlrenken]

take the old chain and put it on as if u were going ot use it and the count how many links u need. probly round 96 to 98. zring chain from regina its and oring chain thats what i use but there is alot of chains out there .

[jlrenken]

chain size is 520

[cdoskocil9]

Ok so cant I just order it like in the 100 length and cut it if need be? Will a 100 for sure be long enough?

You got a new sprocket you should get a new chain because the wear and friction surface will change and cause your chain to prematurely wear. You don't want your chain to fail don't take the risk! Especially if you race and do big jumps!

Look at wear surfaces any as a unit that can not be changed without consequences. :D

Agreed I ordered a pretty nice chain in 520X98 I hope it fits not being able to ride sucks

u should be ok im running 14 39 and i think mine is 96 so u shouldnt have to worry.

[cdoskocil9]

Thanks do you like 14 39 better? I might stick with that by the way Im running 18" tires..... The chain has a master link so making it a 96 should be cake right?
