Title: chain size?
Post by: Mike Qube on October 19, 2010, 04:14:07 PM
While I was adjusting my chain tonight, I noticed a bunch of tight spots and frozen links. This is my first time changing the chain, and I dont know what size to get. Is it a 520? Or something else?

Hey Mike, check out http://www.ca-cycleworks.com/ (http://www.ca-cycleworks.com/) 
I just bought a whole sprocket/chain set up from them.  The chain I got was a DID Professional x-ring chain w/rivet for $98.  It was gold and I believe it was a 520-110.  Also, on the sprocket/chain page, there is a chart to find your size chain.  Good luck.

Shows it at a 520-98.  CA has that exact one for $89.  Thats a good deal.

That chain will look really good on your bike.  The chain isn't a bright gold, but a nice muted gold color.  Similar to the gold on the brake parts.  [thumbsup]
