Just a word of warning regarding DID chain.  All DID chains need a DID specific chain splitting tool; and the newer types - I bought a 530VX - need a different rivetting pin to the older ones.  The instructions make it clear the old type pin is not suitable.  The only UK supplier I could find wanted £17 plus postage  :bug_eye   the newer type is denoted by a groove cut around the shaft like this:

Different diameter?
I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint

I bet you could make one...
Is it really an adventure bike if its wheels never see dirt?

Completely different form for the dolly (the bit that forms the rivet mushroom), the result is a wider spread than the old one.  Yes, it can be made, but first you have to know what to make, and without one, I had no clue.

DID links for riveting have a hollow centre, not solid like some other chains so the correct forming tool is essential.
