Good morning.


I like the hyper bollix waffle in the ad for Renthal chains. X ring or O ring makes little difference if you keep it lubricated correctly.

I've never seen a Renthal chain do excessive mileage. The Tsubaki Alpha chain is their second grade down. You might as well pay the extra & get their SG grade chain this is their premium grade with O rings. For a little more get their SGX grade. This is an SG chain with X rings & a PGF. (Poncy Gold Finish).


Cheers.
