the correct chain is 106 links of 520 chain. That's with the standard sprockets of 14/47 teeth

Jem,

thanks for the info but after a dirty afternoon in the workshop comparing chains with my other bikes ,I,ve decided it has 530 size sprockets , 14 and 48 tooth. 106 links looks about right though.
I,ve got a spare back wheel from, I think, an early Kanguro and that does looks like a 520 size.

What ever you do DON'T fit a 530 O-ring chain, there's a danger of wrecking the cases.

The whole reason they went to a 520 was that in O-ring form it's about the same width as a plain 530.

Sprockets aren't that expensive from Sprockets Unlimited and especialy if you're fitting an O-ring chain, it's usually false economy to fit a new chain to worn sprockets.
