Chain and Sprocket selection

[mopar1]

So I'm due for a new chain and both sprockets. What do you all use? Are the ebay specials worth anything? Probably will stay with stock gear ratio.

Im running Renthal sprockets, not sure of the chain though. My sprockets still look new and Im do for a chain replacement, so Im gonna be watching this myself. Im thinking of getting an x-ring(Im pretty sure thats what its called, kinda tired right now!! LOL).

thats what I'm running an RK X-ring gold chain Very nice!

I got a o-ring chain from Psychomotogear on ebay, and it snapped! (definitely avoid no name chains on ebay)
But there are some good deals on sprockets on there. JT sprockets are good, but their not really any cheaper than the Renthal ones. DID chains are among the best chains out there IMO.

I just use steel sprockets and non oring chain never had much problem with longevity of them and their a lot cheaper

 

[MS_Warrior]

whats the deal with the o-ring chains?

 

[lbjamm]

Sposed to keep the grit out and last longer

And X-rings are supposed to do even better than the standard oring chain, because of the shape of the Xring is an X shaped oring. More surface area sealing it up.

oh okay cool thanks guys

 

[88WarriorBoy]

non oring chains have less rolling resistance than o-ring chains

oh okay cool thanks guys

but the zring chains confuse me, i use steel sprockets doent matter on brand, and my x ring chain i have right now is still lubed from about a year ago, i should spray it again though just to be safe

Don't get a renthal non oring.... those snap..

Spend the money and get renthal, jt, or primary drive steel sprockets and a rk xring chain. Problem solved.

 

[Mathius]

I'm surprised nobody said anything about the "T" ring chains.. lmao
I still thing the X ring is just a sales gimmick.

 

[duneracerweston]

Lol tell that to sidewinder and their smart chain. It has a lifetime warranty. Its a x ring thats self lubricating

 

[buzzy613]

i call bull^

 

[duneracerweston]

I got one them blue chains off ebay an I have rode on it pretty hard like 3 times an seems to be done already.any recommendations for a lengthy durable replacement an where to buy?

Tex, I got a JT o-ring and JT sprockets from amazon brother and I think it will be a nice long lasting chain/sprocket combo for what I need. I wanna say like 50 or 60 shipped for all 3 pieces, bought seperately but all on amazon...It kinda just depends on personal preference and history with certain companies and the application your using your quad for.
