What do you prefer and for what riding situeations?

 

sup.. i can't remember the url, but if you look you can find a site that did a dynotest on an o-ring chain and a non o-ring chain... might help..

you want O-ring chains, they last a lot longer and are less of a pain to take care of.... you want O-ring.......

 

O ring chains also don't stretch anywhere near as much when new compared to regular chain.

 

get an o-ring, because i thought i was going to get a good deal on a non o-ring chain. I rode mine for one weekend and the chain was junk. I didn't even take it through much mud or water. (just a little bit)

 

Non O-ring chains are just as durable as O-ring, they just need to be lubricated more, that's the only difference. I prefer Non O-ring myself because the O-ring chains get stiff when you ride in a lot of water and sand like they have us do in the harescrambles I race in.

i'd go with the non o ring i did and it works great on mine. it only stretches a little more than an o ring and look at the price difference u can buy 2 non o rings for the price of one o ring chain. GO WITH THE NON O-RING

RIDE HARD RIDE FAST AND MOST IMPORTANT RIDE RED

 

O ring is the ONLY way to go,they last longer,are easier to care for,and stretch much less than none o-ring type chains,its O-RING for me.===Bill

 

O-Ring is the only way to go. I have never gotten beat in a race, come up short on a double, not make a hill climb, because of an O-ring chain. Regular chains have caused me all of those troubles.

 

I went with a non-o ring renthal R-1 race chain, And it runs great. I take care of my stuff so no big deal
