CHEAP CHAIN AND SPROCKET?

I'm looking at replacing the chain & sprockets on my 2014 model, going to stick to 530 chain and go 1 up on front sprocket and 1 down on rear. I'm planning on using it mainly on track and see how I get on with it. I came accross this on ebay, seemed rather cheap, any advice?

Why up 1 front and down rear ?

 

Well spotted, typing error, otherway round, 1 down on front (15) and 1 up on rear (43)

 

It'll feel like a new bike when you do that, although I'd start with +2 on the rear.
I keep forgetting what I'm running, but for my track bike I've settled on 46 rear & 15 on the front.

 

That chain isn't designed for a thou'. If you want DID you need a ZVM-X.

JT sprockets are cheap and heavy, more suited for doing many miles on the motorway.

I just changed the CnS on my track bike. I called AR Racing and had a chat with someone who advised on the best for me and my needs.

(Just my opinion for what it's worth)

 

So you buy a cheap chain and your doing 130mph and it snaps locking your back wheel....

 

I wouldn't trust eBay with something like that, probably counterfeit. Easy to put any old chain in a counterfeit box. It wouldn't be my choice. Yes, I know i always harp on about not trusting eBay but having been caught out twice, one is always sceptical.

 

Thanks, I gave AR racing a call, turns out they sell the same kit but with Renthal sprockets, said the chain will be fine.

Ah, OK, 1000 is OK as you are using a 530. I went 520 hence my bullshit.
