Title: 3/8th X 5/8 Drive Chain?
Post by: Scott Sappington on September 27, 2014, 12:24:15 PM
Manual states drive chain is a 3/8 X 5/8. Sprockets were replaced before purchase, rear is a PMP PE002-52. The chain is a Renthal 520?
Of course I just purchased a Gold ER2 520 chain upgrade. The Sprocket setup has maybe an hour of ride time at best. So... is the 520 the wrong chain for the sprockets / setup? Will running a 520 cause pre-wear & binding issues? What's the call? Scotty "Rat"

Jerry told me the gold(ish) colored rear sprocket came thru Guy Cooper. Any one recognize the part # stamped PE002-52  PMP? Know how manufactured this sprocket? Thanks, Rat

A 520 chain has a roller width of 1/4", whereas a 530 has a roller width of 3/8".  Both have a pitch of 5/8", which is the center to center distance of the pins.
