    Chains and sprockets can be quite forgiving as long as they are not miles out
    I did most of my allignment by eye and a simple set square.
    A great source of chains and sprockets to keep costs down is to use lawnmower
    bits-they are usually heavy duty and just a few quid.

    Hi, just thought I'd throw my two pennith in.... stay away from #25 chain (mini moto). The chain is very strong and sprockets quite small due to the pitch but the chain is not forgiving on misalignment - as I found out. I would suggest a form of tensioner even if it lays on the chain, that will help keep the oscillation down which if left can result in chain jump off the sprockets.
