    Upgraded sprocket/chain

    Hi all,

    postman_pat just gave me the last bit of info I needed to rebuild my front brake caliper. Now I'm moving onto replacing the rear brake shoes. I will have to have the tire off and my chain has never been replaced (this is a 1979 .....) so I was thinking about changing the chain and both sprockets. I had read good things about Vortex and DID but was wondering if any members here have tried this on a similar sized bike. My low end acceleration is more than enough but my top speed is a bit low so I thought perhaps I would bump the rear sprocket down by a few teeth. Does anyone have feedback on this? Comments, stories, suggestions, or criticism? How do I size the chain if I change the sprocket?

    Lots of questions ... I've never dabbled in this sort of mechanics. Excited, though.

    Thanks a lot,
    GSP
