Go to B&CExpress.co.uk

Can order a 520 chain conversion too which ought to last you a long time!

Or ARRacing on ebay. They sell 520 pitch sprockets and chains. B&C are good though. So are ARRacing. Both do decent renthal sprockets.

520 is the way to go, just don't get a cheapo one or a Renthal chain D.I.D or RK is the way to go. Sprockets you can't go wrong with Renthal

Even tho i managed to shag mine in under 1k lmao, thats cleaning it every other ride too..

Don't rate the 520 setup at all bag of sh1t if you ask me, the chains are like fooking cheese, never get better than the oem shizz strong as fook.

I rate them. My 520 is a million times better than my old 428 chain :\

iv also found that the 520 chains are as weak as the 428 chain and cost twice as much to replace

I was one of the first on the forum along with Nath who had the Special edition DTRE, he got the blue and i got the red RK chain, with anodized red sprocket.

The chain was literally like cheese, had to adjust it nearly every bloody week!

The 428 chain is lighter anyway so is the "best" option imo and because they're cheap and you never have to adjust them compared to the 520.

My old D.I.D had to get adjusted every ride, was a non X or O ring one tho, no issues with my RK O-Ring one so far and it gets a frapping every ride 4th gear clutch ups haha

Seiki · Admin

Had the 520 the past 5 years now no issues from B&C still going strong.

ToySoldier · DTR Legend
