Default Chain info/facts must read!!!

Im looking to change out my chain and sprockets so i was doing some research and came across this site.
http://www.quality-cycle.com/truth_a...cle_chains.htm

I emailed them for some prices, so i will let you know what prices are like. They have a damn cool rear sprocket made by stealth. I am leaning towards it, but $$ will make the final descision!!! Im also leaning towards the Rk x ring chain.

hey dude, i got the D.I.D pro chain. and ya it was $$, but well worth it. it retailed for about 159.00 but i got it for 129.00. cause the chain the shop was going to put on my bike was wrong and was cheaper. so they gave me the D.I.D for the same price as the cheap one. pretty cool of them to do that.

I'm definately looking at an X-ring chain when I change out the stock one. Just looking to see if I can find one in Blue [8D]

I really wasn't gonna look for a blue one at first, but when I saw that the Attack Kawasaki's use green chains on their race bikes it got me thinking...it really brought it together nicely

Great price!! I just bought the last one in stock for $199. If you get a chance take a look at the trimetal stealth sprocket. This is going to look killer and preform awsome.(i hope)

So what should i notice about the -1 +2 gear change?
I have the yellow box on order for the speedo correction.

I am having it installed by my LS, so it will be awhile til its on but i will post some pics asap.

Oh by the way i went gold for the sprocket and the chain.

Good read. Looks like I have been oiling my chain incorrectly for many years!

Useful article, but remember that it's still a sales pitch, and that it's 6 years old.
