| Re: Any Recommendation on New Chain? It's a little price heavy but I like the DID ERV3 520 chain with whatever sprockets you like.

| Re: Any Recommendation on New Chain? RK chains seem to have a good reputation, I only found this out after buying a DID X-ring one though.... maybe I'll try RK next time. |

| Re: Any Recommendation on New Chain? I was just illustrating a definition for the word you emphasized, I have used them for years, and not that many of them, the only reason I would change them was to change gearing for different tracks, never because anything happened to them, the 44 tooth I used for the road was just replaced after 7 years and 10k miles, nothing but good experiences here thats all I was saying. |

| Re: Any Recommendation on New Chain? Go with stock size and steel. Go with a DID xring chain. It will last a lot longer than 520 with AL sprockets and it is a street bike
