joandemma Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 I am in desperate need of new chain and sprockets for my Gas Gas, does anyone have any recommendations. Been told that I should get heavy duty O ring chain to last longer. Any link to site or shop would also be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boofont Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 You don't need an o ring chain, go for a Renthal R1. They last for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhaines Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 I found the DID chains are good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charliechitlins Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 An o-ring chain will probably last the life of your bike and never wear out your sprockets. They are easily cared for by hosing off and spraying with silicone to condition the o-rings. I know there is some prejudice against them, but I have used nothing but for years. On fast street bikes, they have been dyno-proven to get power to the rear wheel more efficiently than a standard chain, and they are definitely smoother and quieter. If you are so good that the extra pound of weight will affect your riding, don't get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
