How to decode motorcycle chain size numbers , identify different chain types and understand some of the pros and cons of each . Including a close up look at sprocket wear from minor deformation to bizzare extremes.

Special thanks to Bryan and Tim at Ultimate Cycle for loaning some of the chains and sprocket examples used in the making of this video .Also for sharing their professional expertise and knowledge of all things mechanical. Gritty old school motorcycle shops like Ultimate Cycle are extremely valuable and increasingly rare to find .A place that has been able to thrive solely on word of mouth and reputation alone . A place where you can actually talk to real mechanics with decades of experience whose primary objective is to help you and not empty your wallet in the process. If you are fortunate enough to have a similar establishment in your neighbourhood
be sure to support them in every way you can .Because when they are gone and you are forced to deal with big brand dealerships for any sort of problems ...good luck ! You won't get past the front desk anywhere near a real mechanic .
