Mr. Me Too is a decent person
520, 525, or stock 530 chain/gears

whats the difference between the 3? are the 520s just fatter and tougher than 525, 530 and so on? what would you recomend for mild stunting and lots of hard riding? if you buy the "self lubricating" chains, do you really never have to lube them? thanks for the help

just to let u know 530 id thicker then 520. 1000s come with 530 and 600 and 750s come with 525's. but a 520 will work fine just make sure its strong enough.

530 is bigger and stronger, 520 weighs less.

not all liters use 530...zx10r for example...


i use 530, gives me some better inshurance from snapping, and you can't have too much strenght in any component when we talk about stunting...520 are on the other hand used in racing for less rotating mases, making some minor power differences as some claim...

i dont know man, i've never been able to feel the difference between rotating mass. its probly only a pound or two, and i aint racing so....
when it comes to my bike, my main concern is durability, so i got a 530 setup with geared steel sprockets.
