Stretch less than triple chain with my use.
Why is that, you think? The load per chain row is higher with a two-row chain (by 51% actually) than a thress-row chain. The only benefit I can see is less load on the mainshaft.

I've fitted one this year. I've done about 4,000 miles / 6400km without any problems.
Knut, I'll p.m. you in 2030 or thereabouts.Reggie said: ↑

Let's talk again when you've had 60 000 miles on that chain.

If you bought a Renold chain with split rollers, it would have been the much cheaper industrial low speed product & not the product knows as Blue Box" as was & is still made for classic bikes. If someone sold it to you claiming it was for a motorcycle, you were stung big time.Apparently there are a lot of poor quality triplex chains around. The original ones are no longer available and Renold supply chains with split rollers rather than solid ones, as they should be. Andover Norton now supplies the triplex chain (060366) made by CZ accoring to information on the NOC message board. They are receiving good marks. Iwis chains are also receiving good marks and a triplex chain for the Norton Commando is offered by Classic Bike Spares (AU) and others.

Renold Blue Box & Synergy chains have solid extruded rollers.

I've just got my new duplex primary chain from the chainman( now Jason ). I ordered 'heavy duty, it fits the sprockets OK but because of the extra thickness of the side plates it runs extremely close to the back of the case. I already have one thick and one thin shim. The side plates are 0.3mm thicker. Any ideas before I send it back for a 'standard' size? Maybe that's the correct one to use?I've fitted one this year.

Is yours the standard or heavy duty?It is best on the 2 inner rows, never measured the clearance on mine as it did not flag as an issue.
