February 23, 201511 yr Can anyone tell me the chain length I need for a bsa c15 with 13t engine sprocket and 62 rear wheel sprocket??? Longer would be better as I can chop it down cheers luke...
February 23, 201511 yr Just replaced the chain on my C15(14/64) bought a 142 link 428-£12.57 from M&P ebay site with free P&P.Had to cut a few links out. cheers the noo Brian
February 23, 201511 yr Author cheers dude will order one now just out of interest what gearing are you using? I have the 18t engine sprocket and 13 t / 62t
February 23, 201511 yr Not got my head around the new fangled chain sizes but mine is 1/2 x 5/16 chain with 13 x 62 sprockets. Just counted 122 links on it but I was in a bit of a rush and as there's a half link in it I'm thinking I must have miss counted! I'll have another go tomorrow night to be sure. Mine is 13/62 which is slightly lower than it was before at 14/66. That is with the standard C15T 23t engine sprocket so overall a lot higher than yours. I found it fine but it's been a long time since I've ridden it in a section.
February 24, 201511 yr Author Aha so I might have gone uber low with the gearing lol.. oh well second gear here I come lol
February 24, 201511 yr My bikes fitted with 18tooth primary,standard gearbox and 14/64 gearing 428 chain. I ride first gear in tight stuff and 2nd in hillclimbs. cheers the noo Brian
February 24, 201511 yr Yes, don't go off my set up, I think most people go for much lower gearing than mine. Though maybe the actual gears themselves are lower in mine due to it being the original 'T' box. Mines a 1962 and previous to that the primary was 18, not sure why they changed to the 23.
