marlintec Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 102 links, if you want the same basewheel. The rule is easy: original number plus or minus the change on teeth. Your standard chain lenght is 101 link with 10/42 gearing. If you add 1 tooth (43) you'll need 102 links. The standard lenght of GG-Pro (250-280-300) is 102 links, so it's easy to find. Cheers, JM. By the way, I've now a GG Pro 250 with 10/41 gearing (11/42 standard) and I like much more (3rd. more useable). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Can't be much difference only one on the back is there any point? Thought the rule was up or down at front opposite at the back????????????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Middlesbrough Fans had attacked Roma supporters like that on Teesside, every English club would be banned out of Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charliechitlins Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Buy a 110 and cut it to length. For a couple extra coppers you can be sure you have enough chain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 That was what I was trying to say. With the 43 you should be able to get rid of the dreaded half link and have a bit to spare! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_290 Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 So I'm wanting to get a new chain to fix the tapping coming from it (people on here have suggested seized/tight link is the cause) Back is 42 and front 10, what size chain will I need? Gonna pick one up from <mention of this company is not permitted on Trials Central> on the way to work in the morning. Do I need any 1/2 links/connecting links or anything? Any special tools needed to get the new chain on/off? ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 You should be able to obtain a proper replacement Sherco chain with the half link made on. Otherwise you will need to buy a 105 link chain, a chain breaker, and a half link which usually comes as 1.5 links and you will have two master links in the chain. A real pain in the a***. Have you tried cleaning and soaking your old one? How much adjustment is remaining on the cams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_290 Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Right, if it's that much bother I think I'll have a proper go at cleaning and soaking the old on one Saturday, plenty of adjustment left, on no. 4 at the mo. See if it clears up the noise on Sunday Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLEASE DELETE YOUR POST/TOPIC. DO NOT TRY TO CIRCUMVENT THE FILTERS IN PLACE ON THIS WEBSITE large snail cams. They give you enough adjustment to get rid of half links forever. Use a grinder if you've not got a chain cutter, just grind away the right bit and knock it out with a centre punch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
