X Ring chain?

Post by hoofarted »

There was a post a while back talking about the DID X-Ring chain for around $70 IIRC....anyone know where it went?

Thanks!

Yeah Ebay. Its more like $95 with shipping. But still good. Just make sure you check the ware resistence per the DID sites specs. :wink:

Oh and its the rivet type master link, another 8.95 for the clip type.

i run this one on both of my bikes. i'll easily put about 8000 miles on the street with them before i change it. even then, i just change it because i change it every time i get new sprockets. i ran the same chain off road on my 450X for 2 years and had to adjust it after the first ride, and only once or twice after that.

here is a DID for $95ish, depending on how many links you need.

Motoxoutlet thats where I got mine rivet type best chain for the money.

I had one on my last CR it lasted for 9 years and I sold the bike with the same chain on it.

My KTM had a RK I thought it was junk.

Just ordered another chain from these guys! They are still selling them at the same price, this is the 4th one I have ordered from them, and the first 3 were still on the bikes they were installed on when I sold them :wink:
I was running a cheapo std DID I got from MFDBs work (they can't even come close to matching the motoxoutlet price on the gold x-ring) and it has worn so bad that when I put my sand paddle wheel setup on just now the chain is too loose even with the adjusters all the way back. I'm bummed because I was going to go to armagosa tomorrow, but I'd rather not send a chain through my ankle.
FYI, the chain is $10 cheaper from their website than their ebay auction.

I'm sold on the DID VT chains. Little bit narrower so it keeps the case from getting ground up that little bit. Tough chain and lasts a long time.
If if doesn't kill you, it hurts like hell.
