new 12mm nut and 14/48 new sprockets and chain

[Val]

Cool post
I'm thinking of doing this change over at some point either soon or during winter, not decided yet, but think I'll be keeping to standard size sprockets

A question or two, if you don't mind....

Did you look into a unbroken chain?
I believe, (not fully looked into it yet) I'll need to take off swingarm but was going to do that during winter anyhow as routine maintenance

Will you be posting pics of your finished job?

Actually all the chains I have found for sale has been split. Have not found any 530 110 chain sold unbroken.

Based on that you do not need to take off the swingarm at all. I have not. Initially was thinking to take off the swingarm and to grease all the bearings. Than changed my mind. Too much hazzle.

Sorry haven't got any more pictures. First day I have removed the old sprockets and the old chain. Then I took few pictures. Next day when I was doing the new sprocket and the new chain I was all over with grease and had not any pictures taken.

Sprocket and the chain were easy. Assembling the rear wheel was a pathetic scene.

The spacers were falling off all the time. And I forgot to put the brake caliper hanger on the axle bolt the first time.

The  second time I forgot to put inside the swingarm the offside chain tightening bracket with the bolt thingy  :'(

Third time lucky  :lol

I also bought this chain alignment tool:

After I have assembled the rear wheel axle and have used the alignment tool there has not been any need for alignment whatsoever - the chain was perfectly aligned and tight with 40mm slack without any alignment whatsoever. How lucky is that?

I just have tighten the bolts for chain adjustment/alignment. And then axle nut to 115nm. Job done.
