Re: ek chains?
had one on my tzr, but that was a super small non o-ring job. didnt do that many miles on it either. so this post is useless.

Re: ek chains?
hmm i take it that was a well maintained ek chain?
had a read around the net and they seem to be quite well regarded as being a decent chain. |

 Local bike shop which I trust recommended me either DID or EK in his personal choice. He's old school and has had bikes a long time, from what I've read on the internet I'll probably try a tsubaki next though.

Re: ek chains?
DID is best, EK aren't bad, but avoid RK and Iris
