Going round India is a decent bit of one-upmanship! Sounds great.

Our timing chain is stretched and worn out and needs replacing, what do you guys go for?
If you have the space for the rather wide pins, Wippermann 7E8 should last until the sun goes red giant and makes further durability moot. With small (34T) timing rings and a relatively short distance between centres (≤25½"), the 136 link length may mean you only need one, but if you need to make two joints the 7R8 is the same chain in a shorter package.

Hello! Found this thread after finding the other one where they restored a Dawes super galaxy and went round France and Spain on it.
My girlfriend and I picked up a second hand super galaxy last year in Bristol, I restored it and fitted it out for touring then we took it round India for a month. It was a pretty special trip, incredible and terrifying in equal measure... we’ve got loads of pics and a diary, we should really get them online some time!
Anyway, I came here to ask about chains. Our timing chain is stretched and worn out and needs replacing, what do you guys go for? I was thinking KMC S1 or Z1, two of them linked together? Cheers
