using 520 sprocket on 525 chain?

[Fruity]

hi guys,

just would like to get your opinion on using 520 14t front sprocket on a 525 DID gold chain? you guys must be thinking why on earth would i want to do something like that??? can't find a 525 size sprocket, that's why. what are your takes on this?

TIA

Don't do it.  Look harder for that 525.  They're available lots of places.  The 525 chain will walk too much on a 520 sprocket.  That spells trouble.

thanks very much my friend. but i live in malaysia. sorry if i didn't mention it earlier. the postage will cost more than the sprocket 

i'll just have to look around where i live. sometimes i buy from ebay and online shops and get them to send to friends from the US who travel to malaysia, but currently none. thanks for the link buddy. cheers.

send them an email and ask how much shipping will be. From what I've read on the forum, the guys in Australia have no problems getting stuff from the states. BTW, I've ordered multiple items from them and their customer service is top notch.

forgot to mention the customs in malaysia    phew...$$$$$$$$$$$

different in auz, i've sold a couple of guys bike parts as well, their customs is really ace. ours are just waiting to pounce of any bike related parts.

cheers buddy, thanks very much for your help.

are you malaysian or a foreigner living there? do you have some sort of way around the local taxing?

also, can't you have it labeled as a gift or something?
