Opinion on chain mfg brands

  

Rx7man -> Opinion on chain mfg brands (9/4/2005 4:36:28 AM)

OK, I'm scouting out what the favourite chain brand is, and feel free to say why, conversly, if you have had a horrid experience wth a chain, you might as well voice your opinion here too..

I'm just getting confused by all the differant makes, each with 5-10 types of 530 chain.. I want a chain that will last a long time, yet not break the bank account.. I personally am leaning toward DID and EK, next is Tsubaki and RK.. .let me know the seal type and model chain you guys are all using.. I'm willing to spend up to 100 USD before shipping on ebay

The different types of chains within each brand is just a rating of strength. Don't buy a cheap chain or you'll be buying another one.

DID is great. RK is excellent also. EK is a pile of dogshit -- I stretched 2 of them out of spec on an unmodified Busa.

Yep D.i.D all the way, always prefered there stuff for wear rates, my original chain on the 1000RR hasn`t needed adjusting in 8000 miles to accomodate any stretch other than wheels off for new tyres, and it gets a good beating too.

that's what i want to hear :)

johndoe -> RE: Opinion on chain mfg brands (9/8/2005 2:05:35 PM)

DID X-Ring

afshooter -> RE: Opinion on chain mfg brands (9/8/2005 5:33:08 PM)

DID chains are more money but RK's are awesome and not to expensive

Rx7man -> RE: Opinion on chain mfg brands (9/8/2005 11:27:36 PM)

well, i guess I'll keep my eyes peeled for a DID chain on egay, failing that I'll go for an RK... I'll probably change chains in a few months

f4i_reborn -> RE: Opinion on chain mfg brands (9/9/2005 12:56:57 AM)

I recommend a sprocket change too if, not necessarily different teeth just new if you are going to spend the cash on a PRO DID

Talanz1000rr -> RE: Opinion on chain mfg brands (9/9/2005 12:44:19 PM)

not a good idea to install a new aftermarket chain on old stock sprockets. try a diff gearing if you have a late model honda..
Afam sprockets are the way to go. if not, just make sure it is steel or HARD ANODIZED aluminum.
