best sprockets and chains

does anyone have any opinion on what sprocket and chain set I should get. I am looking at AFAM, Pro Tek, and Rk. I can't decide and I would like some first hand knowledge...

you totally passed up DID...best chains out there IMO.

I had vortex and I liked them, but I think it was the stock chain...but last week I got a Renthal front and rear sprocket set (-1 +2) and I like them alot. I went with a 520 conversion chain, so I got a RK. so far so good. Hope your happy with what you choose.

Whats the purpose of going to the 520? Is it just weight savings?

ride_002000 -> RE: best sprockets and chains (6/21/2006 8:22:55 PM)

pretty sure its only weight but it does help. And my RK chain was on $26 so I went with it.

520 has less rotational weight than a 525. you do accelerate off the line ever so slightly faster but not truly noticeable as dropping a tooth or something. however, once you get the bike going really fast...you'll start to notice the difference. ideal for track use...not commute, cause you won't reap the benefits.
how do i know? cause i gots one on mah bike!

Thanks Tahoe. So you suggest keeping the stock chain if its a street and once a year track bike?

Tahoe SC -> RE: best sprockets and chains (6/22/2006 2:16:28 PM)

yea i'd just stick with 525...but make sure you get a good chain.
i've tried tons and have nothing but trouble with them...so now i use DID and have never switched...
others claim RK, EK, etc. are good chains, but i've only had nightmares with them.
