  • Chains for Max IV ?

    I'm replacing chains on my 96 max IV. What is the Tensile Strength chain should I be looking for? do I need the 539 O ring chain? What are your recommendations? thanks

    When Mogman and I did his Max IV, RI had recomended the 530 for the tranny to rear axle, since this is the most stressed, and said he could run a good #50 for the F-C and C-R chains. While it would be great to run 530 throughout, it will also cost a lot more. So, tight budget, 530 tranny to rear axle and 50 or maybe 520 for the rest (520 is not o-ring but still quite durable, as long as it's kept well lubed.) If you can swing 530 throughout, as long as you clean/wax it if it gets dirty/muddy while riding,(Chain wax is best for O-ring) it should last a LONG time.

        I just got mine from Richards Relics, he was very helpful in picking out what I needed and did his best to keep the cost down for me. I would highly recommend his online store.

          Me, I get it from Grangiers, but several members have metioned Motion Industries, and next time I am going to check out their prices.

            I get all my parts from Applied Technologies: Scott Tuggle is the guy i always use. Check his prices against Richards it never hurts to compare prices.
            Scott's number is: 1-800-432-6480 Charlotte N.C.
