as the name says, is a price this low indicative of something bad?

as far as im aware DID is a decent make of chain, the tsubaki X ring id normally go for is now up to £115 so im looking an alternative

chains are roughly the same, looks a decent price to me.

i just find it hard to think they can sell a chain thats the same for £35 less than most other places......

DID are spot on. Thats what is on mine not to sure when it was put on as the bike has only got 6k on it.

That chain is for the naked bike(slightly different gearing)but if that doesnt bother you and it is what it claims it is seems like a good price.

Had the same set, but the one for the Sport. Think I paid £5 more.....brilliant chain and good value. Plus the companies feedback is 100%

DID make several grades of chain - it's not clear which one is being sold, particularly as the picture is stated as an example only. This could, (note; could), explain the price.
Anyway, being as it's a DID it won't be rubbish, but perhaps not truly the equivalent of an OE grade chain.

Order your chain & sprockets from Slaters Bikes, £92 for Renthals (hardened alu rear, steel front) with a decent Tsubaki x-ring chain.

Good morning all.

The listing states that it's a VX grade chain. Which is DID's economy grade.

Unless you're really skint, I would look to fit something a little more durable, as it'll be cheaper in the long run.

Cheers.
