thanks for all your reply's people :grin:
pretty much as i thought, separate chain and sprockets is probably the way to go, better quality and cheaper, which is always good ;),

I'll probably go with an O ring chain with a soft link, rather than an MX chain and split link, as i managed to pick up a second hand scot oiler for £20, so less maintenance and i'm not keen on split links for chains as i had some comedian remove the clip from a chain years ago, i only make it across the car park which was lucky, as the chain warped itself round the front sprocket and punched a hole in the engine casing, couldn't prove who did it, if i could there would have been a headstone involved ;)

@kayla you would recommend those bearings then ?
locally i'd be looking at about £60 for all 5 and bearingboys would be just over a 1/3 of that, so if your happy with em then that's good enough for me and another result :grin:

as for the ceramic bearings, if only money was no object, they do look pretty bloody good though,
below 4 mins with 1 push :o in the video description is the web address for "www.microblueracing.com" if you fancy giving em a go EC, hope you got deep pockets

Those bearings are fine, they always supply branded parts unless you specifically buy 'budget' bearings.
