Group buy on proven 415 chain/sprocket setup!!! - Page 3

Rexbo · August 25th, 2011, 10:32 PM

Got mine in the mail today, TBH I thought it wasn't gonna be everything because the box was so light... won't have time this weekend to try an install, maybe next week. Appreciate that Mark stuck with it and saw this through to delivery, I know 90% of the time on a group buy the end buyer gets the shaft.

Thanks!

Anyone interested take a look at my writeup with a weight comparison from my old 520 EVR3 and Pit Bull sprockets vs. 415 sprockets and DID chain.

http://www.racingorder.com/2011/09/2...ht-comparison/

I wish I had my stock sprockets to weigh, there is a huge overall difference from stock > 415, even with mine it was over 1lb reduction.

Nemesis · September 6th, 2011, 01:00 AM

Yeah, I noticed a huge difference in weight savings: Stock sprockets & ERV 520 vs 415 chain/custom sprockets.

But like I mentioned in another thread, the chain stretched by an inch or more on top of the 1 inch free play. So, the chain was 2 to 2 1/2 inches loose. Scary cuz it looked like the chain was about to come off.

I hope it's a one time thing cuz I'd hate to have to check the tension every session.

I wonder if it's because the chains are Non-O-ring chain? IDK. Maybe Tim61 or Mark can shed some light.

I wanna order this set up, too late?
Who can I contact?

*EDIT*
Clicked the link, looks like it's $200 for the complete set up now?
How much was the group buy? Is there any chance to get it for less than $200 complete

Nemesis · September 6th, 2011, 08:11 AM

Call Mark and ask him.

Indetrucks · September 7th, 2011, 01:55 PM

Ordered today, would be RAD to get this in the next week or so for this months race.
I needed to order a 45T lightweight sprocket anyway and I couldn't pass up a weight savings like this.

Saving weight on rotating mass is golden.
They say it's like a 2.5:1 ratio
So 1lb shaved from rotating mass is comparable to shedding 2.5 lbs of dead weight.

Of course I've also heard of a 10:1 ratio as well as 4-5lbs for every 1lb of rotating mass shed.

Either way, I think it's well worth it if you're racing these little 30hp bikes.

Where you able to get it cheaper than the website price?

Ya know, I didn't even try.
I figured I'd be dropping $50 or so on a new lightweight 45T sprocket anyway. So what's $150 more for a lighter chain and front sprocket... lol

I also understand the little profit earned with small production runs for specialty parts, so I decided not to be a CAR.
Cheap
Ass
Racer

My only concern is the longevity of the sprockets. Since they seem to be "one off," I'm crossing my fingers they will be around when the time comes to replace.

Chances are you won't need to replace the front and that's the one that takes longer due to hardening. The rear sprockets are much easier to get ahold of and 415 chains can be found in a variety of brands.

Nemesis · September 7th, 2011, 02:25 PM

Dang...you ordered one. LOL

Hoping I'd have an edge on you for this month's race.

Indetrucks · September 7th, 2011, 02:25 PM

Sounds good to me. I figure it's 30 HUGE hp coming outta these bad boys, so the bits should last a little longer than the liter bikes. haha

I picked mine up from Mark @ AftermarketCycles a few days ago in person and I know he has a few left....but once these are gone who knows when there will be another batch made.

Nemesis · September 7th, 2011, 06:11 PM

I noticed my rear wheel doesn't rotate in neutral any more after I adjusted the chain and lubed it.

Maybe the stretch has settled in.

..yeah, what he said. If it doesn't rotate in neutral, you really over tightened it!

dino74 · September 7th, 2011, 09:30 PM

How much chain slack is recommended for this setup? Same as Manufacturer?

Dean, you gonna make it out to Chuckwalla 9/23?
