NJS of LFGSS

Was about to, but somebody beat me to it. he;'s selling some really cheap gios though! so tempted

Yeh, they are to replace the 7600 wheelset

Well I'm really happy for you.

Refraning from expressing my opinions for the person who got the suginos for the time being.

Not selling that wheelset (trying to grasp onto some bargain).

Has anyone ever got any cranks from njs export? What is the customs charge like?

Yeh, i might end selling the 7600 wheleset soon. Got it from http://www.lfgss.com/conversations/268727/#comment12434760

They roll so smooth though and might actually keep them. But we'll see.

check your pm's!

50+ quid on a chain; no regrets. What is this crazy NJS love?

What is this crazy NJS love?

It's absolutely normal.

What bike will it go on? Any pics?

you'll regret it when you put it on your bike and it's the loudest thing within 100 yards.

It's on the Peloton. I was waiting for a Kashimax TT protector before calling it 'finished' and taking nice pics, but it's (supposedly) coming from VelodromeShop, so god only knows when it'll turn up.

As for the noise, I've heard the 'chainsaw' comments before. I wonder why it's so loud. First ride with it will be tomorrow (unless it pisses it down), so we'll see...

but it's (supposedly) coming from VelodromeShop.

Get refund ASAP and buy somewhere else.

I need one of those too. I think Hubjub have them.

Never understood why it's said to be loud. Mine runs silent. Chain line off on the noisy ones, maybe.

Mine is making a racket too.

Any recommendations for a quieter chain?

Wippermann 1z1. Ugly as sin though.

^ this. Fantastic chain

Really?! Its so cheap

Paying more for a chain doesn't really get you a better chain.

I've learned that now haven't i? Surely it would be a stronger chain though. Super toughness = super noisy

Well, to follow up, my Super Toughness is basically silent. Quieter than my old Izumi Track Standard. So yeah.

Izumi track standards sound like a chainsaw at the best of times

Really?! Its so cheap.

Expensive chain does not make it any better.

Especially true on geared bicycles too, you're better off buying the cheaper version as they all wear out the same.

Surely it would be a stronger chain though.

Are you strong enough to break chains?

Are you strong enough to break chains? I don't want to find out.

That first point was interesting though. Thanks. I didnt know theyd all wear out the same.

More expensive chains are more expensive for a reason. They are better. They are made of higher quality materials.
Cheaper chains will wear quicker and then damage the cog. You should replace your cog with your chain as they age together. Buy a decent chain with a decent cog and they will wear together but over a longer period.
You get what you pay for in life.
Here's some pictures of a cheap BLB cog after a year with a cheap KMC chain and a Phil Wood cog with a Izumi super toughness. Pretty much zero wear on the expensive Phil Wood combo. But you'll want to replace the shark tooth BLB combo.

Completely invalid comparison. Run a cheap chain on the Phil and you'd see no more wear than with an expensive chain. But that's not the point, sprockets wear out when you run worn chains on them. Cheap chains means you can replace them several times for the same expense as one expensive chain.
