Your thread is a bit confusing to start with, as your first post has no link or other info to help us with your question :rolleyes:

2nd one is a good price, although I won the same one on ebay for £39, but that was a poor listing.

I know Lozzo posted up that he didn't like DID chains, but mines been fine since I fitted it.

I've fitted both brands and I can't say I've had any problems with either.

Depends on your regular milage and how well you look after your chain.

The DID is an X ring chain, so its a good quality chain.

The first kit has Hard Anodised Sprockets , not a fan myself , you can give B and C Express a ring and order the same kit for the same money but you get JT carbon Steel Sprockets which will last longer in my opinion .

I have Renthal sprockets front and rear and they seem to be good and are light. I don't do a massive amount of mileage so the wear hasn't really come into it so far. I also went for the tsubaki chain and this again is very good. B & C also do a race kit with +1 on the rear and -1 on the front. I wish i'd have got that one!

X ring =/= good quality

No opinion needed, they just will :)

I would go steel sprockets. Performance gain with alloy sprocket is TINY!
