Iris makes a "1/2" link (3 rollers, RXL, part #BT280310067), but I don't know if the width between links and inner bushing diameter is the same as the R1. Sometimes aftermarket rear axle snail cam adjusters are oversize and allow more leeway in chain adjustment in order to preclude the need for a half-link.

thespikeyone Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 iris links don't fit r1 chains, I found out on sun when my split link vanished into some lincolnshire mud borrowed an iris one and they are a lot chunkier than the r1 chain. Cant you just remove a link and adjust your wheel????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mad4it Posted February 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 I'm sure Dabster i right can't seem to find them anywhare which i find strange'tried the other manufacturers links although all being of the same pitch the renthal chain has a much larger pin size. The trouble has arose because if you buy the recomended 102 link chain when fitted the wheel/tyre clearance is so small that when the wheel is turning quickly it rubs on the lower part of the shock body and swing arm.If you use a chain of 103 links in length you have run out of ajustment before you start.By the way this is on a beta!

nigel dabster Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Try an iris, a few don't like them but they work for me fine. Just put a half link in mine to day and rivetted it in!!! That cse in metalwork wasn't wasted............... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin j Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 half links are not as strong, because of the offset bend in the metal, so most mfr avoid them. What is changed, different sprockets, or ??? was it always that way? kcj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
