scraggydog64 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Had no problems with Regina chains. Don't get an IRIS. That lasted 6 trials then snapped. Scragg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcgods Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 I use Regina chains on all my bikes. I did have one fail at the split link though but replaced the link and all is well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gii Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 I do think the Renthal chain is the best in terms of resistance to stretching and chain life, but I agree that it is expensive. If it's any help to your decision, Renthal don't make the chains. Regina make them for Renthal to Renthal's own specification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
