    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

78gs1000 530 chain conversion - best sizes?

My chain is shot, therefore am looking at the 530 conversion. There are a lot of posts, but I am confused. Also, the Gearing Commander site does not have the gs1000 in their database.

I called Z1. They suggested that a 17 tooth front with 49 tooth rear, and a 6mm spacer is what I need. They said it called for a 114 link chain but suggested ordering a 116, and a coupling link.

Would this set up be ideal? I would like it to be at least as torquey or a little mor torquey than stock.

They did not have gold or colored chains to go with the upgrade.

It's not a big issue, but does anyone know where I could get a compatible high quality (resonably priced) chain in gold or orange?

Go with Z1s recommendations, they have this down pat. As for the chain, you can order a color chain from any of the manufactures in the 530 length you need. I got my chain a tad longer just like they said, it gives you that margin of error. Think I ended up cutting out about 4 links.
