Chain brand suggestions?
 

Evening all.....

I`m gonna be replacing the chain / sprockets on my curvy v.v.soon, gonna use 15/45t ratio. Does anyone have any suggestions for a decent chain? I`m gonna use it every day to and from work etc.

I`ve had a look on here and can`t seem to find anything...

Re: Chain
 

I like tsubaki, sigma is good or next one down from that. O ring is fine, don't pay extra for X ring.

Re: Chain
 

Thanks YC

Whats the difference between X & O Ring? Is it to do with the seals on them?

Re: Chain
 

X ring is supposed to be "better". Just more marketing BS. You put both chains on same bike for same miles with same lubing, X ring will last 10% more for 20% more price.

You can get a DID x-ring from ebay for under £90 with sprokets bargin!!!!!

YC = thankyou very much....

Holdup = Easier to understand when visualized.

Smudge = i`ve already got the sprockets renthal ones, but will investigate :-) Could always sell the sprockets that come with it.

Fanx all. \m/

I use DID chain and sproket kits as suggested by Smudge. They are good value and so far ive had 15000 miles out of mine with little stretch and a bit of neglect to be honest. I only lube every 200 miles or so and rarely clean it. Hope this helps, Matt

tsubaki alpha is what i have, with supersprox (bling) sprockets

Make sure those DIDs are a good grade, that is just as important as brand
