Offset rear sprockets
« on: November 01, 2008, 05:35:39 PM »
Does anyone make an offset sprocket kit for running dual chains? Or can I just use 2 standard offset sprockets?

Why do you want to run dual chains? I guess it's for looks, because a modern 530 chain will handle much more power than our bikes are capable of, even with heavy engine mods.

An offset dual chain setup might cause some clearance problems on the other side, (frame/sprocket cover/rear shocks etc, I presume you won't be running a chain guard) and might also require an "outrigger bearing". Cheers, Terry. ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"
