Building your own Big Dummy or need to replace your time-served Xtracycle drivetrain? You can't do much better than the SRAM PC951 9 speed chain. It includes a gold 'Powerlink' which allows easy breaking and rejoining of the chain.
NOTE - one chain is not enough for a longbike! You will need 1 and 1/2 chains. Keep the bit left over as spares! These chains are delivered boxed with instructions.
A dependable chain for all 6, 7 or 8 speed drivetrains. This is the same type/brand of chain as is supplied with all Xtracycle Freeradical kits.
NOTE - one chain is not enough for a longbike! You will need 1 and 1/2 chains. Buy 2 chains and keep the leftover as spares!
Included is an alloy chainring guard. This is essential for helping stop chain drop on singlespeed and hub geared bikes but also helps keep you best Farah slacks out of the chainring teeth!
Some bike science:
- Power spline fitting
- Chromoly chainring & crank bolts
- 175mm crank length
- 42 teeth
- Pitch black anodising
- 1 piece alloy construction
You will need a SRAM/Truvativ Power Spline bottom bracket to fit this chainset. We have a 118mm axle english cup version right here on this page.
The standard Shimano BMX type freewheel is, according to cycle myth, made from Gorgonzola cheese. This becomes especially apparent when you try to use it under heavy load (on a cargo bike) and on hub gears.If you are after a repairable tough freewheel in various teeth counts - your quest ends here!
Sizes in stock - 16t (blue), 18t (red) & 20t (red)
Sizes available to order - 17t, 19t, 21t & 22t
A super tough 'trials' version is also available in 22t see above.
This tasty-looking Hebie chainguard is minimal but enough to keep you looking presentable when you reach your journeys end.

Ideally you need a track or horizontal dropout (or eccentric botom bracket) to tension the chain on a hub geared bike (as you do on a singlespeed). However, if you are, like many of our customers, wanting to convert a frame/bike with vertical dropouts from a derailleur transmission to a hub geared one you will need a tensioner like this one!
You will need a derailleur hanger on your bike but that's all. This works with bolted axles or q/r ones. The body of the tensioner bolts into the derailleur hanger and then the axle nut/qr (special nut supplied) into the slotted part of the tensioner - allowing you to apply pressure on the chain and keep it taut. (see picture)
Note - not suitable as a tensioner on fixed gear set ups - don't even go there.
