May have it rady to run today...but another question.

Hey folks, I am going to visit Major Tom today. I know I need a new chain (the other one is serviceable but way too short for new clutch sprocket set up) How do I know how much to ge?

Thanks, Leo

Almost there.

Not far now. Have to get a new chain and mount the rear wheels. Thanks for all your help guys. Test drive should be Tuesday evening. Leo

To work out the length of chain needed, you can take a piece of string and wrap it around where the chain is going to go. You can then just measure the length of string
