I got a 112 DID Xring vm chain with stock front sprocket and 45t rear but it seems I'm one link short.
I adjust concentric counter clockwise to shorten distance between gears right? Do I have to flip concentric and how is that accomplished?  Many thanks

No need to flip, you can if you want more ride height. Rotate forward, the axle is at 12:00 from the factory.

It doesn't adjust enough to make the 45t rear fit, I read somewhere around here that the stock 112 link chain will work.

Maybe with a 15T front sprocket? If you've got the eccentric all the way forward & it doesn't fit, you are SOL.

Hey Chris,
I've got a wrench in my hood that has an autoshop but also runs an AMA supersport team. I can ask him for the bits you need when he reopens.
What size again?

ps-Did you get your wheel bearing sorted?

Thanks I got it sorted out, my bike is running great except for this chain issue.  I have a DID50VM X-ring or DID 530 VM Gold, it has O rings.  I need one inner link and one connecting link.

Was finally able to talk to the shop today. He didn't have any 530 chain but said when you're able locate a match, make sure you have 2 master links.
Hopefully you'll have time to get her together for a Sierra run coming up..

Just a lot of rocks on morman immagrant after last weekends storms. caught  5 fish 18+ and a lot between 8 & 12 and the last one 14+   [image: Posted Image]   tom[image: Posted Image]

Thanks, I sent the 112 back and got a 114t which fits perfectly, I like the extra grunt I've got now!

Think you may want to make this run? I'm looking to be riding past Oakland on route to Fairfiled for a roundup..
