The Hard Anodised ones look quite pimp for a month or Two , then when they wear through the 50 Microns or so of Hard Anodising , they`ll get chewed through quicker than a stick in a Bulldog`s gob .

I have the Tsubaki X ring and JT Carbon Steel sprox and it`s still going strong , I reckon with good care I`ll get around 30k from the chain . Done over 9 on it already and have hardly had to adjust it , there is hardly any pull away from the rear Sprocket , the Sprockets themselves show a tiny bit of wear , no stiff links either . All down to my Scottoiler and the occasional clean down with paraffin to remove the thick winter gunk that built up on it .
