Chains

Is it really worth the extra money for a D.I.D or Renthal?? If so who's doing the best deals

My last 2 have been Renthals not snapped one yet,
been told by a few that R&K are also good 60 bucks but are gold witch go,s nice with blue sprockets

renthal don,t actually make their own chain,they box it and stamp it but it,s a regina,15quid cheaper,thats what i heard off two very good sources now

nice one wege, that's probably the best bit of information been given on this site.

i bought an RK from AB's in merthyr some time ago.can't remember the exact price but it was substantially cheaper than the "big brands".

hardly adjusted it at all.....looks crap after the bike is washed even though i douse it in WD.it appears to have lots of tight links and look shagged.....but it keeps on trucking.

its not gold by the way but bling is not my thing.........especially on an old clunker of a kdx.

you know what they say Ogri, "you can't polish a turd"....

no offence intended....

Wege is right about Renthal being Regina chains. I believe RK are supposed to be good but have no experience with them personally.
I put a DID 520 VM X ring on my bike. Had lots of DID chains over the years and they are most definitely the dogs. Paid about £60 for it back in the summer.

You get what you pay for with chains, simples
