BEST CHAIN & BEST PRICE?
I am in need of a chain and sprocket. I want the meanest chain money can buy but at the best price. Which web site do y'all recommend for this? My bike is stock length by the way.

EK drzzz530 oring chain, schnitz. I would look for a driven sproket or stick with stock.
a steel chainring will outlast aluminum 3-1 if the chain is high quality and doesn't stretch out.

Personally, I run Gold 530 series DID Oring or Xring ONLY!! Mines at swb and I don't launch the bike much at all........usually get 2 or 3 seasons out of a set but cost is around $250 for chain/sprockets. As far as who to buy from, I'd simply use a search engine on the web and basically shop around for the best deals -- maybe start here.....

I only use WD40, which really isn't the best lube, but bike stays clean, and after initial adjustment it never stretched or needed another in 5000 miles, including 30 lbs of nitrous, 50 HP at a time, numerous 500 mile rides without lube too. Good chain!

Thanks. I ended up ordering from this site. I did the ground shipping and it still came out cheaper than place like schintz and 58cycle.com. Thanks for all of your input. I don't drag race so I should have this chain for a few seasons easy.
