primary chains

hi all yes its time for primary chains. should be about £7.50 each
I ran the same chain all year and still life in it yet. but why damage a engine for the price of a chain. mikes right two should do a season.
not heard of anyone breaking one yet so let me know how many you want and will get them for the dinner dance.

Being traditionalists, Aidan & I use Renold 110038. We buy it in 25ft lengths, and do the rivetting ourselves (Type 106?) links. BSL are nationwide stockists.

Incidentally, when at Uni, one day Renolds had a big sales van parked up outside the Mech Eng lab. One of the "reps" became very interested when I said I raced Bantams. He turned out to be Vic Doyle! and went on to tell me how to maximise the durability of the bantam primary chain, if we were wearing them out too quickly.

He said the links "articulated" rapidly when leaving the smaller sprocket, and if we were to position some guide plates (either surface hardened steel, or hard nitrile rubber) above and below the chain run, this would eradicate this form of wear.

Despite nearly 24 bhp at the rear wheel I have never had to resort to this. I change them when they get to about 200 or 300 miles.

Hi Robbie,
Can you book me the usual two primary chains for the Dinner and Dance.
Cheers,
Alan
