  • 520 530 Chain Question

    Do 520 chains wear out quicker than 530's?

  • #2
    in short, given the same riding style/etc...yes. they are lighter, but on higher cc bikes (especially those with alot of torque) they stretch more/faster. you may still get 10000 out of the chain, and the weight savings is significant when you look at the difference between the stock 530 w/sprockets and a 520 conversion (especially since it is rotating mass). it is kind of a trade off

    2000 tillis plus stuff with some polished stuff and some carbon fiber stuff and a little bit of tlr stuff and some gsxr stuff
