new freakin chain

fookin chain just snapped on me on m60 doing xxmph luckily didnt lock up just cracked the rear hugger .pissed as i only bought it the other week suppose to be a good one .so sat ot sale waiting on breakdown guy

 

did it snap were you joined it???

 

What make was it mate

 

bought it at nec from a so called reputable trader lol my arse .lost it in the outside lane of m60 so fucked if i was gonna go back and look for it.its been on 2 weeks and checked last weekend when i had the wheels off and wasnt showing any signs of damage etc so looks like a day off work and a trip to huunts on the bus in the morning to sort a new one

 

Name and shame the trader.

 

At least your ok mate, could have been a lot worse, you can replace the chain.

 

Did you fit the chain yourself?

If so, without the chain as proof the seller won't be interested.
For it to have gone that soon it was most likely to have been the soft link incorrectly fitted.

 

I was gonna ask if anyone checked it.

Changes things a bit.
I would have picked it up.
But for a chain to go like that means a serious flaw in manufacture.

 

I think you've answered my question there lee.
Eddie you were worried about buying a DID chain off eBay and then you fit a shit one ??
Your very lucky to still be here to tell the story and I hope you've learnt a lesson.
There a place in Oldham I think b&c express rings a bell.

 

just to add to your misery of the snapped chain if memory serves me correct this was a kit you bought sprockets and chain, i would seriously be considering taking them sprockets off incase one cracks or shears, snapped chain u were lucky it escaped sprocket brakes that chain isnt going anywere but wrapping round swing arm and wheel

 

I've a 520 chain an sprockets for sale if that helps

 

Any more info on who supplied them, we need a heads up on here, thanks. lucky boy.

 

B+C are on "Oldham Road" near the main sorting post office.
B&C Express are SE Lincoln.

 

got a new did chain this morning but havnt fitted it as yet in two minds now with the sprockets .may have to ask antz what he wants for the sprockets and fit em at weekend .this is all i needed with a week till xmas lol .thanks for the concern guys but itll take more than this to put me outa the game

 

Thank god your ok Edd ...DID i have one on all my bikes worth every penny
