DID X-RING. If you want a little stronger chain go with a 1000cc rated one. Ask Sentinel he will tell you the same.:thumb

If you get a top line x chain they are all about the same. Everyone will pretty much tell what the have is the best. I have used EK 520RXO and never had any problems, but also know other racers that have used DID an RK without any problems.

 

[Sentinel]

Yea X ring is definitely the ticket. Gotta get the gold though just for the pure look of it :thumb

Gold is blingin' baby :nanana.

I have the DID x-ring....and its the bestest :redflip.

But get what floats your boat.

Hey Sig Man the D.I.D. Gold X-Ring is the one I had put on that day we went to Team Charlotte that you said you liked.

:confused Doesn't someone offer a "W" ring now? :shrug
(stirring pot)

Have heard the DiD is the way to roll.

I run the RK xring. I get 17000+ miles out of each. And if you have to have the "gold" they have it too. About the same strength for all of them, very minor differences. I just have always found RK to be a few dollars cheaper for a great product!

Is your chain a 520?:confused

 

[TLstreak]

naa I run a 530 still. Not going to make a difference on the TL either way. So I stay with the 530 for increased mileage

Come on man.......got the light wheels.......might as well have the light chain.

 

[Sig]

Quick question here.........I was looking at getting the EK chain. Their options are "gold" and "chrome"


Now I'd like just have a silver one.......is that what they mean by "chrome?"

 

[kerry_129]

Yeah - I think it's actually nickle plated, but looks pretty-much 'chromed'.

Yeah, TLstreak has all the go-fast goodies. :thumb Those wheels are for "increased mileage"! :laughing

 

[TLstreak]

Nothing to make the bike go fast. Just ride better, and it does, night and day difference!

I have both a gold and chrome ek chain, don't know what the 'chrome' finish is but it is shiny silver.

Jeff you did it right in my book :thumb The advantages of 520 chains and aluminium sprockets are just not worth the loss in mileage especialy when you ride as much as we do

You have to ask Boomer about that one.:laughing If it's chrome he will know!
