X-Ring chain links

[DeadLastRacing]

Anyone have any extra X-ring chain links sitting around? I new about 10 links or so. I'll see this weekend exactly how many links I need.

ill have a look today i know i have a chain but im not sure if it an x-ring or o-ring

 

[bones]

sorry man its an O-ring chain

 

[DeadLastRacing]

thats ok. I'll find some somewhere. I don't wanna buy another whole chain, the x-rings are pricey.

why did you choose x-ring over o-ring? whats the difference? i need to get a new chain and i dont know anyone who runs an x-ring

supposed to last longer

Last longer and runs smoother.

X ring has a a flat profile to the O-ring, which gives it a greater contact area, thus it stays cleaner (grit is death to chains) and lasts longer than the other types of chain. Interior grit not only ruins the chain quicker it also wears the sprocket more. Also has multiple sealing points and is supposed to have less friction on the chain.

In my age, I'm learning to buy the good stuff once then having to buy the ok stuff a bunch of times. Chain, sprockets, bearings and seals. All stuff that is wise to spend the money on. Least if you want to save yourself and your quad in the long run.

I've learned that leason a few times myself!! i have been wanting to ask someone about this, my stock chain is about due so i guess ill try an x-ring

I know man, I have debated there stuff. Perhaps when I got to get mew sprockets I'll buy there stuff.

the money is a killer if you look at the tag though 360 for the set and a chain im tempted but i like to be able to change gearing and keep the warranty without spending a grand on it

 

[DeadLastRacing]

yeah, but you figure, for the rest of your life, you'll never have to pay for any of that stuff again. Its worth it.

Go with the X-ring. I bought mine on the 1st rebuild of the warrior a full year ago and its still in good shape.
