[QUOTE="johncrispin, post: 127072, member: 53"] Having started this thread last year, may I just offer my gratitude to all who have responded. i have learned a lot. I have used one of Roberts re ringed super hard front sprockets and have on the back an anodised alloy made by Mr Hemmings I believe , purchased through the much lamented 'Sprockets' co ( John & Jane) just before John's untimely death last year. The chain was a DID 520. I have done around 500 miles since as I was compelled to use my T120 to the Ardennes last year. (Electrical gremlins now sorted). I have not yet needed to adjust the chain to my surprise. The only difficulty is attaching with a spring link which I chose to use. Unlike modern bikes the chain has to be removed a bit more often than on our older machines. I have found some considerable grip has to be used to squeeze the link plate with the seals in situ in order to make sure the spring is seated properly. [/QUOTE]
