Title: Chain and sprockets
Post by: Tally on Saturday, 05 October 2024, 12:45 AM
New chain and sprockets arrived today from Hunters of Newcastle upon Tyne, £89.97 all in , free p&p against £120+ anywhere else. All I've got to do now is see my mate about grabbing some garage space so I can service my bike , otherwise I chance it with the weather.

That's cheap, don't think I've ever heard of that make of change before though.

I've often used Hunters over the years, they do seem to always be cheaper & helpful if contacted.

They do have the JT brand on them (ESJOT) so decent quality,if genuine.  I like the "gold and silver" not just an ordinary gold link chain...

That does seem like excellent pricing imho I'd like to see the fitted product please 🙏
I've never used the padded front sprocket ⚙️. Does it make any difference ?

My ears say that it makes a difference.

From experience I'd trust Hunters to supply genuine. I just hadn't heard of the make, good to hear it's a known one though.

I think it was Hunters I got my DID chain & sprockets from, they even riveted it together for me and sent as an endless chain, I had the swing arm out at the time so saved me trying to join it at home
