Drive chain question

Post by benly »

1966 Honda ca95 -10,000 mi. drive chain is adjusted to the max and I still have to much slop-do I need a new chain (where to buy) or is there a master link on the chain to remove a link. Thanks

You can remove a link and add a 1/2 link. But after 10K miles I think it's time for a new one.

You can get new chains off of ebay or a local cycle shop. I found these chains at TSC as well(basic roller chain)

Find a #428 x 120 link chain of your choice. The link count on these biks is around 114 to 116. So when you get the new chain, move the wheel all the way forward, fit the chain to the nearest link, install then adjust the tension when your done.
