a whole link being normally counted as two links, cos if you remove 'one' link you'll have a right job on your hands joining the two ends. ;)

Now i'm trying to gt the best deal/VFM for a chain/sprox kit, but DID seems to be coming up around £100 which is a bit steep for me

Cool. Well, as a 50t sproc will cost around £45 give or take, i've decided Mr Yamaha actually didnt get it too far wrong with 15/48, im getting 54mpg with a 50 mile a day commute through central london.

You have to consider longevity though, economically it makes sense to get a decent one that'll do the job well and last a long time.
Also, it would be a good idea to change your profile so that we can see what year bike you have, so that we can easily cross reference it if you ever need any help. (i know you mentioned the '99 earlier but it's easier at a glance)

I agree about the longevity completely, but if i can get the same product for £20 less then that is smarter shopping, xmas coming up etc. Certainly not looking to go for a 'budget' no-name chain, just trying to keep the wallet a little healthier.
cheers

It'll be a miracle if you find a kit cheaper than this!

Thats right Dcurzon, mines a gold one. Only cost me £79 though I'm afraid Darrsi! :)
