O RING CHAIN

...and for a whole lot less money, I've been running this one on my '74for 3 years. Fit great.

I guess they make 530 sealed chains narrower than they used to. When I was interested 10-15 years ago a 530 sealed chain would not clear the gearbox or the chain case (can't remember which). So I purchased the CNW 520 sealed chain kit. Been very pleased with it.

FWIW, I have never lubed that chain...or any other sealed chain. I occasionally wipe them down with a rag that is damp (NOT wet) with WD40.
 
Good to hear the DID 530VX fits.
Pin length DID with 25,3 mm slightly longer than RK 530UWV with 22,6 mm.
Guess due to thicker plates: DID has 2,4 mm for inner and outer, RK has 2,2 and 2,3 mm.
Reflects in tensile strength for DID at 41 kN, for RK at 35,3 kN.

I have also used this VX530 for my MK3 for several years now.
There is little space against the gearbox 1-2mm I think it was. But it is enough, I have not touched it, so it works fine

Pretty sure it was your post that planted the seed for me. Thank you. For being FACTUAL, rather than hypothetical.

Thread '72’ Final drive chain. DID?'

Good morning!

I’d like to maintain my chain as on my modern bikes if possible.

I have 19 tooth countershaft sprocket.
Looking at a DID 530. I’m sure Soricket center can cut one down to 99 links and if not I have a breaker.

Anyone used that chain?
