[QUOTE="Robert Watson, post: 105443, member: 38"] I have run 520 oring chain and very hard SAE 8620 case hardened sprockets for a number of year now. All of that setup will run 20,000 miles, and I am not easy on it as some will attest. I don't use a chain oiler but do carry a small spray can when travelling and give it a lubrication at the end of a long day or if travelling in nasty weather. One of the absolute best changes you can make if you want longevity. I had some rear sprockets made but the price on a second batch became prohibitive but am working on a new plan that might bear fruit in the next few weeks. I have done front sprockets by "re ringing" good used ones (and even a couple of new ones) with the hard rings. Robert [ATTACH type="full" alt="26412"]26412[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
