Drive chain Suppliers - any recommendations?

Hi folks,

I’m looking to order a new drive chain - I’ve been using M&P for the last decade but was wondering if there are any other firms that people use that get the specifications right and deliver on time?

Many thanks for any info. :slight_smile:

Three years ago I used Bitzforbikes to get a really good chain (gold DID ZVM2), arrived in good time, for £150 which after much research seemed like a good price as it included new sprockets. HOWEVER the rear sprocket they sent me was the wrong one so I sent it back and asked for a replacement/refund, they never responded, and I never pursued it as the original sprocket didn’t need replacing anyway.

So to answer your question - they’re good for chains but be very careful when ordering kits from them.

I have had a new set installed since then (35k miles later) which I just left to my very excellent mechanic, Ollie (ex of Premier Motorcycles, West Wickham) to source. And he got a very good price, but he might have done me a good deal being a regular (and he did a lot of other work for me at that time including new front discs and brake lines).

Thanks for the info eezy :slight_smile:

To be honest M&P are usually pretty good - they have a lot of chains to choose from and have got the specs right every time I have ordered from them.

I just wanted to see if there are any other good suppliers out there.

Have been getting my chains from FWR for years, always a good price & service.

Not sure if its too late but I’ve recently ordered AFAM chain from the following site :

Not sure if its true but AFAM chains are supposed to be good. Manged to get 30 per cent off as well.

Yeah - I’ve run Afam - and I found them to be a high quality, strong chain that delivered good mileage - I would say that they are as good as D.I.D. which are also excellent chains.

I’ve got an AFAM chain on a 1200 bandit that I bought from the aforementioned FWR & that’s done over 25K without any issues, albeit with a Scotoiller.
