Those chains don't last long at all. They need constant lubrication, adjustment, and replacement. I would not run one on the street.

On the track the lighter weight may get you a few feet on the guy next to you over the course of a lap. On the street you won't even notice the difference.

Sprocket Specialists make the sprockets. You can get order the chain from any place that sells chains. Get the highest tensile strength quality chain you can find.
