    I know... Yawn..

    I would like a gold chain (not sprocket)

    What do people go for? Brand? +1rear?

    Cheers

    Nice I've had supersprox before they discolour after some time but good otherwise.

    Think I'll go for one again, I was worried the gold on gold on gold (wheels) may be to much, you've proven me wrong :)

    Any links to best place to purchase?

    Just what I'm looking for!
    Is this chain better than a DID one, and could you tell me what the advantage is of having a +2 rear sprocket please?

    That's what I have on my bike mate. Still give you that little extra out of the corners without loosing too much fuel consumption.

    That's good enough for me then! The sprocket only comes as a standard size?

    Yes standard front sprocket and the 43T rear.

    I used the chain link that came with the chain, and riveted it on using a chain riveting tool.
    If you don't have 1 or are not confident in doing it yourself, get a local mechanic to do it for you. Not worth the pain (literally) if the chain snaps because of a ill fitted link.

    Yep thanks Colin.

    I'll be fine with the fitting just didn't want to spunk ~£200 on the wrong gear :)
