Timing Gear Read roller vs standard sets
I thought this may be interesting to others.

I am not an expert so cannot comment on the accuracy of the information in this article, but it is well written and easy to read.

Roller sets have less wear. Can't comment on the rest of the article.
A good roller set can't be beat, cheap insurance.

The only thing I would say is don't use a cheap roller chain. There are some that have the rollers made with a seam, not one piece of solid steel.
