Re: 520 or 525 chain and sprockets
I went for a 520 with a 14 tooth front sprocket when i last changed mine. Bike picks up quicker, chain is lighter. Win all round.
Only downside is you'll need to maintain the chain a little more than with a 525. Give it a lube once a fortnight and you'll be right.

It don't matter if i'm fixin' it or ridin' it.

Changed to a 520 few months back and there wasnt a real noticable diffrence, however it is a bit cheaper than going for 525 c&s.
