Just bought bought new chain and sprocket kit from Wemoto, with front sprocket up grade 12mm.
Its a Sifam HD chain and came with a split link link, which is very easy to fit, i know most chains on todays bikes use a soft link which is rivetted on .
Back in the 80's i ran various large capacity bikes with split link running gear with no problems, and most off road riders and moto x racers still use split link for easy cleaning, has anybody had issues ? I'm sure Sifam would not be aloud to produce the kit if deemed unsafe .
