What's a good chain company? and sprokets?

I'm replacing the chian and sprokets and just want to know what are some good companies to buy from. thanks.

I'm keeping it stock gearing also 530

 

RK! Why not?

 

what are the benefits for changing it to 520? I like the stock gearing so far, and am just not ready to change it...yet.

 

Less rotating mass at the expense of wearing out faster.

 

+1 RK Quick accel BABY!

 

DID. There is no other chain.

 

DONE. It's better.

Someone wanna post up the meaning behind the numbers again? I forgot it exactly. I know the first number is supposed to be the length between rollers - so a number beginning in "5" is 5/8" of an inch... right?

I forget what the last two numbers represent but I'm sure I remember them being used together.

 

+2 RK chain, i have been running mine for 9 months now and i really like it, also comes with a 20,000 miles warranty

 

I've run them all...I can't afford my favorite, Regina...it was the only brand of chain I ever had that didn't get tight linksbefore I worn through the chrome on the rollers. DID is my next favorite. I have a VM x-ring on one of my bikes now, and very pleased.

If you are on a budget, and just commute, Parts Unlimited chains will suffice. EK has some midrange stuff too.

JT, Sprocket Specialists, Parts Unlimited have a lineof steel sprocket that are economical too.

You could go with a 525 chain as the F3 had (or was it with the F4 they went to 525?)....they are now very common andcheaper than a 530 in general. My two streetable 600's have a 525's on them, as do most new 600's.

 

Last two are the width of the chain, so you could run a 530 chain on a 520 sprocket, but can't run a 520 chain on a 530 sprocket.
