Chain and sprocket set up

zedx
Need to get new chain and sprockets for the ol girl. I am going to convert to 530, what would be the best all around set up for a 77SS motor?

From what I read 17/48 is best does anyone have experience with this set up?.

Also my chain length is 108 right now what length would I need in the 530 setup?

Nothing wrong with 17/48. As for chain length, unless someone has done the conversion, and counted the links afterward, there is no way of knowing. I would suggest getting this chain from Cycle-X and cutting it to length. Part# CS-003 http://www.cyclexchange.net/Chain%20Sprocket%20Page.htm
