A New Paradigm for Cruising

Gypsy and Chain Fitting

Will 3/8 HT chain work in a Lofrans 10 mm gypsy? Or will I have to order my chain in France? – Paul Camp

Re your chain issue, this is a question of the gypsy and chain fitting. The schedule 7 we normally use fits the Maxwell gypsies. The thing to do is to ask the chain supplier for a short piece of chain, about 18″, and then send it to Amel and have them order a gypsy to fit. – Steve
