Time for a new chain?

Yep front end was sorted,was just twisted forks.Yeah but knowing my luck (well kinda) parents will turn round and forbid me to tinker with it,XD

 

Beer!!!!!!!! I'm with you brother

 

This is for my benefit mostly,but I remember one of you guys saying you like this sorta stuff
Okay so I've started to disassemble, starting with the front sprocket,no big deal here, 2 screws holding onto the cover.


Next step is to remove the chain on the sprocket and remove front sprocket.

Front sprocket is now off,that was bloody easy.
Had to remove two firmly (thank good) stuck in there bolts and it just slides out,lovely.
This is were the problems start,I don't have a chain spilter.

 

Do both the sprockets first as you can use the old chain to pull the new one through.

 

Do I have to comeplty remove the rear wheel,or can I just undo the sprocketside swingarm and leave it on my upturned chair ..er I mean padock stand.

 

You can use a hacksaw to remove the chain, or use a metal file to shave off the head of one of the links..
There are loads of ways

 

Take the rear off replace the sprocket then put it back together.

Split the chain put and use the old one to pull the new one through.

Thanks ,but Fronkey ahs givin me a link to buy my own,cheaply ,I whoudn't mind some tips on how to sue it right thoguht,XD

 

Buy a digital micrometer, they are only a couple of quid on ebay.. Super handy for other things too..

I begin tightening the link up and as i'm doing it ill stop every now and again and use the micrometer to compare it to the link in front or behind.. That way you cant over tighten it..

 

digi vernier from aldi or lidl only £6.

 

I can't seam to see one, + I need it to put the new heavy duty chain on.
