Normal to just buy a DID X ring sprocket and chain kit, makes life much simpler.


They're decent, and tried and tested.  :thumbup

some difference in prices there, guess the expensive ones include the two sprockets as well, need to investigate,  any recommendations from anyone?

D.I.D and Tsubaki are the best chains IMO opinion, given the fact I have decided to assemble custom kit with OEM rubber thingy front sprocket, I have decided to go for this chain:

Or even I can safe some money and get this O-ring Tsubaki:

The first one is £84 the second is £61 and I am not convinced yet which one I will get. At the end of the day the chain life mostly depends how you maintain it, so not 100% convinced I need to splash say £140 for some super duper extra heavy duty extreme gold whatnot XXYZ chain that will do the same job and last the same as well maintained but high qulaity Tsubaki O-rin for £60.

I have the feeling we may fall victims of marketing bollocks from chain manufacturers trying to get some money from us  :lol hope not  :rolleyes

You don't need extra heavy duty, it's been talked about before.


Nobody has really cared about the rubber thing either, and i've not heard anyone complain that it's not there or being missed.
