Some links look stiff already. I recommend gear oil for the chain, it's the cheapest option available, and one of the best at maintaining the chain, the only downside is that it can sprinkle the rim, but you'll only have to clean it after some use and no more worries.
Thanks for the idea ! My 30mm dowel fits in, and there is still 10mm of space, which would seem to indicate a bit too slack. But the 50mm dowel is like yours, it goes in, but tightly, which seems to mean ok. Only have about 1500kms on the bike so far.. Plus my bike is lowered in the back with the ring,and front(tubes pushed up 3/4"), plus most riding is doubling with a combined Weight of 265lbs, I'm 150.. Lowering bike adds chain tension I've read, as does doubling..so I'm thinking I'm better off on the slack side a bit.. Any thoughts ?
Hopefully nasa doesn't take him away. Genius idea 💡. I had a hard time measuring. I will use the pvc parts

Yours sounds about right. The chain is a weak point in the driveline. Should be a 530.
شكرا لاهتمامك.. فانت تملك قلبا جميلا👍
On ya Dave.
That chain has gone. Mine was at 5000km. RK is the go
My latest video and an additional 1500 klms it surely has. 'Ride to the Albany hill climb 23'
do you know how many tooth our front sprocket has?
Is that a toolbox on the back?
Ι the sprokets but that chain you have to change it.
Has anyone had issues with steering wobble? Seems widespread in China.
