Best chain?
What do you rate as a good chain?
I got to change mine as now other people have noticed it's Knackered as well |

I've only used a few brands of o-ring chains and rate their durability as follows.
1) Regina OR - very long lasting, chain remains flexible until worn out (I've had two of these) 2) RK EXW - very long lasting, chain remains flexible until worn out (I'm on my third one) 3) Primary Drive - long lasting, chain gets very stiff over a short time (I've had two of these)

I've read allot of very good reviews of the DID 520VT2 X-Ring chain. These are a slightly narrower X ring chain (came stock on the Honda 250X) and fit through guides easier and seem to be pretty low friction and quiet.
