Well this is a question that has been on my mind lately. People say you get what you pay for. That is true, but only to an extent. I say that because I have friends who live by D.I.D chains, but my primary drive chains are half the price and last just as long. But the first chain I bought, a volar chain, spit out o rings and stretched to an unreal length. So what is the best chain?

 

That's like asking what's the best oil to use.. All most all the good machines are using o-ring chains. Regina,DID,Tsubaki are three good brands off the top of my head that we sold. Plus there are the high dollar x-ring chains also along with the o-ring chains.I guess we sold more DID chains at the shop because we stocked more of them.. Best bang for the buck in my old opinion. Forgot about EK that we sold also and surprisingly Bike Master chains that we either got from Tucker Rocky or Parts Unlimited had good reviews on them to be a cheaper line chain that a lot of people on a budget went after.

 

Primary drive has been really good to me, and I have been known to be hard on chains from time to time. They are my go to at this point.

 

Yup agree the combo with sprokest is hard to beat, and I don see a stretch diffrence from my past DID or ERK Oring or Xring chains.
