I took the chain off my bicycle, cut it down to size a little, been using that for a while. It's amazing how well it fits. And the price... WOW... super affordable. Head down to your local bicycle shop, you'll be amazed. I kid you not.

Too much maintenance and short life.

CR,do you use this one?I read you have to oil it every other pass but that it really cut down on friction.Can you tell the difference?

you can get the RK DR for less, and it is within 500 lbs tensil of the DRZ. Way less rotatiing mass than the DRZ

All of the Test I saw and from Back in the Day is that the Losses from an "0" RIng Chain were very soon overcome by the frictional losses because the Lube was never everywhere unless the chain was removed and boiled in OIL

Look at it this way, on a drag bike, it does not matter, if o ring was better, pro stock bike would be using it............

oring on a land speed bike, maybe not, def not for the street, but for 9 seconds or less, its all good in the hood.

mainly riding in the street but there will be some track time... i dont have the luxury of having a street and a strip back...
i have 8in over extention, what should chain length be?
i believe someone told me about 160... just wanted to verify...

Was this back in the day when they were trying to ge everyone to buy oring chains.
I aint buyin it.
My rear wheel will roll on it's own when the bike is up on the rear stand, running and in neutral.
RK DR is the way to go. DRZ if you make big big power.

Why not a non O-ringed chanin for a street bike? If it will net a tad more ponies, then I am all for it plus oiling the chain isn't a problem to me.
