Okay, I did order the kit (Chain & Spocket) from the place Vlad recommended. I have a local guy looking at my chain and he said my chain (DID 530 ZVM2 xring) still good and he recommended to replace the front and rear sprockets, change out the masterlink on the chain and that should be good for while. I replace this chain last year and I did put in about 20k miles. Bases on the warranty the chain should last at least 2years. At this point my chain is made a lot of noise when riding and I made adjustment to the point there is about 1" slack at one area and up to 2" in some area. Is it because my rear sprocket wont out un even? Please advise
As you have already ordered he kit, I would recommend you replace all 3 items together. 20,000 miles ain't bad, not bad at all. As for the local guy, well his opinion is an interesting one - does he own a bike? If the chain has a tolerance of +/- 1 inch... it's time to replace.

Cheers
