Wow! Love those big open sky pics!

It's officially on my to do list now. Hey, what's the deal with chains and beamers? Anything I should note?

**Transalper** · 11th February 2008, 12:43

I think generally a chain shouldn't break if chain and sprockets (some front sprockets can easily be installed backwards) are properly installed and maintained, and not run in to the ground, as in replaced in a timely fashion instead of riding on chain or sprockets that are really past their use by date so to speak.
It's probably just a coincidence that 2 out of 3 chains I've seen break in the last 5 years have been on F650 Funduros. I think all were taking a hammering through either riding styles or terrain and all were worn out.

with regards to A's chain, the rear sprocket was on it's last legs, and a bit of lube wouldn't have hurt. New set of sprockets and chain waiting to go on $235 so theyr'e not to dear

Got through the Moles and Rainbow. Bloody hot on the Molesworth, but the Rainbow was spectacular on thenorthern end. A few really nice tracks leading down to river banks, and up valleys near the end.
That bloody DT can get along alright.But the the rider is a bit of a weido.

Might even shoot back down molesworth tomorrow. Sorry mark
