I generally avoid lots of hassle and just order for kit the bike from WEMoto.

My lad ordered his own chain and it was (deliberately) ordered too long so he had to arrange to shorten to fit. I don't need that, I'm lazy and just want to get on with the job, not create more work. Never had that hassle from WEMoto.

One chain from WEMoto did snap before its time. I called them, they expressed surprised, checked my order date and sent out a replacement. So can't fault customer service there.

The WEMoto site also lets you go up or down choice on the front/back sprockets if you want to play. Which is nice.

Just another Thumbs Up

for wemoto, DiD chain and JT sprockets.
I sometimes buy renthal anodised rear sprockets but that's only because I like the look. Some people say they wear quickly once you're through the anodised coating but I've had no issues.

Another +1 for DID+JT.

My chain is about 15k old and I still consider it new Laughing
