thanks for that mate, it would be the 30mph i would be worried about lol !! got checked out the other day on our local by-pass, by a "newbie" bobby, pulled me in, said,"do you know you were doing 33mph and when you saw me your speed dropped to 29 mph," "AND" i said, a couple of cops sniggering in the background,i then went into a prolonged lessons about speedo errors, etc.bored him shitless. while cars flashing by at 40 plus. so what ya gonna do i said,? he just spluttered and said we will be policing this road quite vigorously in the future,( obviously there is a town councillor living on this road) and off i went on my merry way.
URGENT i have just got the parcel and they have put a 116 link chain in, when the chain i have taken off is 114 this is with a 42 tooth rear sprocket and is fine, so i suppose i will lose some adjustment then? dont want to start this and i have lost all adjustment.
If the sprocket sizes are the same then you want the same chain length. You can shorten the chain to 114 Links.
yes i am aware of that, but i didnt want to butcher a new chain.when i havent got the right facilities.i just want it confirmeed that a 114 is ok ,think i will fit it and if too long then butcher it,only after spending god money i want to get it right.
I have standard 114 on my 05 blade with 16/42 sprockets and it fits fine, it will pull your wheel full forward and therefore shorten the wheel base slightly, which is an ok thing for cornering Best try your 116 and see how far back the wheel sits compared to standard? You can always pop a link off if you feel you need to
yep 116 was to long, i shortened it to 114, will finish it tomorrow, sprockets on chain riveted, just got to get that fkin casing back on now, lol, out for a nosh now and chillin !
