Where do you buy your chain & sprocket?
i need a new chain and sprockets, and ebay seems to have some really cheap
packs of them, well i say cheap as in for a sprocket kit and chain its the same price if you go and buy a 120 link chain from a local shop, and have to cut it.
instead you get 2 sprockets for the same price.
anyone know about the quality of these sprockets and chains, i would like to use the bike on the track as well.

I did plenty of research on chain/sprocket brands and I eventually pulled the trigger on a 520 kit from Solomotoparts.com
They have quality name brands "kits" and were the cheapest price at the time.
I also went with a screw on master link because i didnt want the clipon style or to buy the $70 rivet tool.
I'd stay away from the cheap ebay no name crap.

my experience on ebay has been good. Brand names are DID and RK. I tried the EK, and they are great. My chain was made in Japan. I would definately buy the brand again. Make sure it has a either an O or X ring. I stuck with the 525 stock spec. It's thicker and heavier, but it's also more durable. It's been 10,000mi since I installed the chain, and I've yet had to adjust it.
As for your sprockets. Just make sure they are made of steel and not aluminum.
