How do you know when to change your chain? and should the sprokets also always be changed at the same time?

if you run out off adjustment then the time is right, but also if its full of tight spots as for the sprockets if they show signs of bad wear e.g teeth hooked then its time. generaly two chains to one set of sprockets

can anyone reccomend which brand of chain & sprockets is best for wear and price. Also where to buy from.

D.I.D or EK just chain is about£100 check out m&p athttp://www.mandp.com

Perks of the job cbr I had AFAM sprockets and chain put on my bike a few months ago and cost me a bit more than £75

chain and sprockets should be changed when the sprokets start to hook as wear rate shoots up dramatically, or when the chain becomes worn, best guaged by the amount of side flex in the chain.
