37ccmflyte
Finally riding a big boys bike
I need some help navigating the world of block and skip chains please.... I have a number of questions that are hard to google or search for on here (I have done both already).
I have a 1937 CCM Flyte I am making into a racer style.
I am thinking of fitting it with (in an ideal world) and newly made skip tooth chain wheel and either a genuine skip tooth rear sprocket or a normal on with every second tooth removed. Thinking 32 to 11 ratio.
The chain is where I get well out of my depth.....
The bike will get little use so I will not need a chain in great condition.
So my questions are.
1 What are my chances of even finding block chain for sale second hand?
2. What is a realistic price to pay for a well used block chain?
3. Will I get one long enough, if not I will have to buy two?
4. Is it unrealistic to look for the block chain and should I just go for a skip chain??
5. If it's skip chain and I need two, whats a common one to look for?
Help to understand whats around would be great Thanks.
