+1 .
Best and strongest 530 oring chain made.
...and the EK DR2 is the strongest non oring 530 made.

I have a question as I am about to replace a chain as well.
O-Ring or X-Ring, which is better in your opinion?

Tensile strength is more important IMO.
I classify them all the same, when I say oring
The ekzzz is x ring actually.
I should clarify that "best" is an opinion-, its my opinion, -but many seem to agree.
After 1 initial adjustment on break in 50 miles, none required in 8,000 miles for me.
The lack of stretch mean the sprokets last much longer as well.

You need a 150 link chain at 6" over. You will have to cut off a little bit but save it in case you want to go 9" over. I run the EK DR2 and I really like it.
