not all DID chains have gold links, but if your going with DID use an x ring they rarley stretch & last longer than o ring chains

$90 for what kind of chain ?

i was looking at the DID 520MX but it doesnt come in all black. black/gold or gold/gold is the only options, i still might get that one. or the 520NZ but it say its only for 250cc or smaller :? , it has high tensile strenght so i dont understand the 250cc thing

The MX wear resistance is only 440. I'm lookin at the ZVM2 or the VM 4000 and 3220.

I think it was the VM for $90 he found on ebay. Guess I should go sniff one out.

I have the ERT2 on now. Another wear resistance of only 430. I wouldn't normally use that one but it was a Vet X prise so I'm using it up. Hoping to get a year out of it which is almost up. I just need it to last four more races and two practices and I'm calling it done. I've had to adjust it about every third to fourth ride. And being non O-ring, have lube it about every other time.

You really get what you pay for as chains go.

that vm is what I run on all my bikes, never had an issue, never much stretching except a tiny bit from the first ride.
