Hi all,

 

I change mine in JB the chain and spocket for 120 rm. Although is a x ring, but it give way in less than half a mth, so no point la, must as well change in singapore to get a better quality one, than spending little money but change many time, in the end paying more than it should be.

 

After all change in singapore.

The diff between the 2 is that X-Ring chain provides excellent low friction performance and has 1.5 to 2 times greater wear resistance than standard O-Ring chain. Hope tat helps.....

[cklingkwok]

Ic ...

thanks alot..

should be going to change this sat

[bomisman]

Advice pls.

 

Notice my chain making a "tsst.... tsst' sound when i ride fast. Went to shop, mech jack the rear wheel up. Roll the wheel and the chain will be tight at one place...very loose at one place. Mech suggested put some chain lube.

 

Works ok for 2 days. Then the sound come back.

 

Using O ring , original honda spocket

 

Is my chain gone?

 

Only happened after i change my tyres. Could it be the fault too?

 

Thanks

[ValenYono]

Hi,

 

Hope this helps.

1) I believe ur sprocket gone already. It is not really 'round' anymore (a bit oval) dats why ur chain sometimes tight sometimes loose. Have to change ur sprocket, its better u change the whole set (front/rear sprocket + chain).

 

2) Did you do a wheel balancing when u change ur tyres? If not, then that its ur wheel dat is the culprit. The wheel might not be balance and sort of wiggle around when it rotates, thus damaging the sprocket's shape and in turn stretch ur chain.

 

How long have u use ur chain n sprocket?

[Guest nE0]

Your mechanic overtightened the chain when doing the wheel chain. When you hit a big bump, the suspension compressed alot and overstretched the already tight chain, causing a bad spot.

 

Time to get a new chain.

sigh .... Ever since i change both tyres at this shop, lots of problem surface on my bike.

 

Now new chain/sprocket = $$. Last change on Jan this year.

Care to mention the shop name, just a hint will do, no need the full name.

[Guest nE0]

Actually, alot of shops, even reputable ones tend to overtighten the chain.
