Changing gearing -- front vs rear

[Kabara, Richard M.]

Thanks Zoran, it's 520

>From the RK chain website, comparing their "standard O-ring" chains
http://www.rk-excel.co.jp/global/chain/chain_application.pdf

520 is 3.36  lbs / 100 links

525 is 4.30  lbs / 100 links 


So the 525 is 28% heavier.....I'd call that significantly heavier!
