    ive been looking at replacing my chain and changing my gearing recently going from stock to minus one plus one. but there seems to be a million different chains about withtheir own selling unique selling points but im not quite sure which to go for, and what is suitable for what.

    its a road bike, but barely, and is used on track. sprocket wise im going with either renthal, as i have used various renthal producting the past and they have always performed for me, or afam as i hear they are good.

    chain wise im looking at either

    afam A520-8-116 - £118
    did vx2 gb - £85
    did 520erv3 - £149

    has anyone got any feedback on these? is the vx2 being the cheapest up to the abuse on track and, 'spirited road riding'?
     
  2. All will handle what u through at them and more as long as looked after, I personally have gone D.I.D previously because the Afam used to have quite wide links and I think it looks a bit naff. That's it, purely ascetic. The D.I.D is more dog bone shaped

    RK for me....just as long as you don't go OEM you'll be fine....the OEM chain really is wank.
