Default Tsubaki 525 Alpha X Ring Gold

Just changed my Triple SSS POS that came with the bike with a new Tsubaki Alpha chain. The difference is so great it's like an (almost) new bike. The SSS was totally shagged after 1500 miles with massive tight spots despite gentle riding and lotsa lube. The Tsubaki is awesome in comparison. Very smooth and free running, it will run down to 3000 rpm or even 2500rpm without complaint now. Build quality looks excellent so have high hope for decent mileage. Easy to rivet as it's a soft pin and got it from B&C at the same price my local shop wanted for another SSS. Ha!
