Are you running a 530 or 520 chain?

I got the zvmx but I paid less than that only a couple of weeks ago, its a monster of a chain, just make sure you get new sprockets as well, i'll look for the site where I got mine from.

just under £118, so a little saving if you decide to go for the big boy... :thumbup:
or the vx for £71

I will go for the big bugger, Already got the sprockets got one of the supersprox for the rear and renthal front so it is a bit of false economy to get the cheaper one
