I'm guessing that it has to do with the chain size, but what is the difference between the 17t and the 17 3/32. Thanks

there's a 17 tooth freewheel for a 1/2 inch chain and a 17 tooth freewheel for 3/32 inch chains, typically the 1/2 inch chain is for true single speeds and BMX bikes, 3/32 inch chain is typically used for 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 gog freewheels, multi speed bikes. A 17 tooth freewheel for a 3/32 inch chain would usually be used for multi-speed to single speed conversions. If you use a 3/32 inch chain just make sure your crankset gear and freewheel are 3/32 inch compatible.

Looks like the 17t runs the 1/8" chain vs the 17t 3/32 runs the 3/32" chain. Hope this helps.

It's the chain thickness. 1/8 is slightly thicker than 3/32. You can use 1/8 chains with 3/32 cogs, but not the other way around.

It isn't just a matter of gearing as some are suggesting here...Fixed gear bikes often have a narrower rear dropout (like 110 or 120 mm vs. 130 or 135mm).

The Z710 is designed to be a lighter chain. It has cutouts in the links, so there is less metal and therefore less weight. If you look at the reviews for the Z710, it seems to be a different audience of racers and fixie "weight weenies" - not that there is anything wrong with that. The Z710 is reputed to be a very good lighter weight chain that doesn't break as much as its competition or the stock chains. If you have a single speed cruiser or internal gear hub (IGH) 3 speed or similar, the Z410 would be fine and considered pretty much bombproof. If weight is a concern, the Z710 is probably the way to go. Both chains are the same size 1/2" x 1/8".

Not certain but I believe it has to do with the spacing of the teeth on the wheel at the end of the bar. I have two 14-inch bars for my chainsaw, one that fits s49 and the other s52. Always better to have a choice you know.

M-770 crankarms are hollow, and the chainrings are machined more precisely and made out of more durable material than M-590 (which has solid crankarms). There is a weight penalty with the M-590, due to the crankarms being solid, but there is little difference in shifting, while the crankset is relatively new. Durability of the rings will somewhat lower, if you don't keep the drivetrain clean. While there may be some difference in the quality of bearings, between the XT and Deore levels, i have never been able to discern it.

what size your looking? 1 or 2 mm not make to much deference, i think, the chain has some space, in my case i was looking for 110mm then i found one for 113 and is working, i did a race 50 miles and was good no problems at all, good lock, just in case keep looking .........

700c's are a continental size for road bikes. They are the same size a 29ers.Never seen a road bike with 26" before in the UK. They are normally 700c. Best check the size again on the side of the tyre. Also important to get the right width. Too narrow and you will still get punctures. I've just refitted mine after sanded down one end so there is no longer a 'square edge' as it caused a puncture.

Specs appear to be the same. Maybe the string hood on the 17 cuts the string off one inch shorter.....

It is a chain drive which is what I started on 15 years ago. I actually like a chain drive better. Maybe because that's what I'm used to. They have belt driven at Snap Fitness and the only difference to me is the chain drive are noisier.

I am currently running this setup:RaceFace NW 32t up front.Deore 8 sp drSLX 11-34t CassetteShimano 8sp chain.Not a single dropped chain since I put the NW on.

I believe the "T" is a superseded part #. It's the same physical size but probably with an updated design or manufacturing process, and an improvement to the high failure rate of the original part #.

Base of teeth are 0.080 thick and an 8-spd chain has a fair amount of wiggle on the teeth. That's all I've got. I'd check to see what the late Sheldon Brown says.

I believe it's the links, we have 72 links. bought this chain a few times and perfect fit. we cut a lot of wood, last a long time.

There is no standard chain length. It depends upon several factors, including chainstay length, derailleur length/size, large chainring size and the size of the largest rear cog/gear. You'll need a chain breaker tool to remove any extra chain links, and to put the chain back together correctly. Be sure to check the re-connected chain links for free movement and slightly loosen the reconnected link if it's too tight (or it will cause problems - which will become apparent).

The best thing to do is call the company. They have a tech rep who can answer the question. When I talked to them, I learned that the fitment charts change from time to time based on a number of factors and the tag on the chain container does not always have the most current info.

As important as verifying that it has square bottom-bracket fitting, which it likely has, is making SURE the gear-teeth/ratios numbers match..whatever your old one is, it will create problems and more work if you try to fit one smaller or larger number of teeth, the front derailleur will not be in the right position and adjustment for a start...if your largest cog is 42T, you will be easier off with another with 42T, best to get the middle gear the same such as 34T or 32T, as well.

It is one of the few items I returned because of the continuous issues with the chain. I bought a maketa (not sure of spelling) and never a chain issue.
