Can i use this in # 535 DID chain or 530 in a sports bike

I used it on a 530 chain. The key is the grind the head off the pin first. Then it's cake. The flaring pin works fine. it doesn't flare it out as much as using a pin hammer to mushroom but good enough.

That is exactly what I used it for. I broke the old p.o.s. 520 chain and installed my shiny new DID 530 chain on my old Suzuki Katana. As long as you don't apply ogre force to the riveting part and break the pin like other people have. I actually had a spare master link and riveted that 1st to make sure I got it right, then I installed the chain and its master link without a hitch. That was 2k miles ago. Good luck and ride safe!

I used this tool to change a couple of different 530 chains. I did grind one side of the pins off before I pushed them out. They were not DID chains but stock chains, but it should not make a difference.

Yes, this will work with that chain size. When breaking any chain with this tool, you should grind the rivet heads down first. This is especially true with the larger size chains.

Yes. In fact, on my racer I have both units mounted on the chain stay. The cadence unit mounted closest to the bottom bracket. Figuring it maybe more aerodynamic. Works well.

According to Shimano it is not supposed to work but I have used it with both an Ultegra short cage and a 105 short cage. If you B tension screw is bottomed out with the 12-28 I would guess not but if there is some travel left it should work I think. Frame and hanger geometry can play into it.

I remember trying a medium with a 9 speed and 3 rings and it would not work but I would think with only one chain ring assuming its not the typical larger ring you would find on a 10 speed 3 ring system it could work.

The answer posted by Hunt Ma is the right answer. You don't need a link. But if you want spares, you can go by the number of speeds it is designed for. 6-7-8-speed chain is wider than 7-8-speed chain. (Z-72 is 7-8-speed chain). Always go with chains and parts designed for the same number of speeds. Finally, if you have an 8-speed cluster, chains designed for 6 as well as 7or 8 speeds don't shift as cleanly due to the slight extra width.

sure, the shifter will work the same with any size chainring, it is the derailleur that is specific to chainring size

If you're derailleur is a shimano tourney this should work fine without a longer chain. The freewheel tool for the removal of the old freewheel is the only tool you'll need.

Yes, assuming it's a 10-speed cassette. I have used this chain with a 10-speed 11-32 cassette and 50/34 chainset.

I have, I just used my multitool chain breaker. I had to remove a few links so the chain would be the right length for my fixed gear bike. It's tough at first because the pins are a bit larger at the ends.

Yes. That is the exact setup I am running after upgrading my classic Schwinn. Works great.

An expert friend of mine says YES but advises use of an 8 or 9 speed chain for best results. 7 speed chains are getting hard to find anyway, he says.

Not sure, RoadRunner. I think it was made for the 500. On the other hand, I only have a 500 so I'm not aware of what the differences are between the 500 and 535.

Frank,Danni has it right, and you can also go to Dowco's website (dowcopowersports[dot]com) and enter your bike model into their search fields. Or you can take this recommendation from me: buy their model # 50004-02 - its the same one I bought for my bike, and Dowco's search engine came up with this same number based on your HD Road King!

Well, let me see. If your Schwinn has a conventional crankset connected by a conventional bottom bracket then the Shimano UN55 should work. back in the early days, 1950's and before, Schwinn used to build bikes with a one piece crank. The UN55 won't work on that type (unconventional) of crank. If your Schwinn originally came with a 2 piece crankset with square taper BB interface, the UN55 is correct for you. Now keep in mind that the UN55 X 68MM is designed for a roadbike bottom bracket shell width. If you're dealing with a mountain bike it will be 73MM BB shell width. Also you will need to know the correct spindle length, they vary in length according to what is attached to the crank, drive side. Single, double or triple chainrings. Hope this helps.

The overall length of the 127.5 is 2.5mm shorter than your 130, so you would divide the difference by 2 so with the 127.5mm bottom bracket your chainrings will now be 1.25mm closer to the center of the bike... I really don't believe this will be enough to cause any issues...

Depends on the kind of bike and the size of the timing chain links. Look up a replacement cam chain and grab the link size, cross it into this kit to see if any of the pins will work. Also, you can break the rivets with this kit, it is advised to grind the heads down first tho as its less stress on the breaker/pins and will greatly increase reusability in this kit.

Not sure about using it on a external derailure as I use 3 of these to make up one chain for my trike which has an internal 8 speed rear hub. I checked my bike manufacturer website and called their tech support about it to be sure. Best to consult you bike manufacturer website.
