Chain & Sprocket - Best place to buy online
I'm due for a new chain & sprockets and am wondering if you all have any suggestions for the best place on-line to order from. And in your opinion, what brands are good and what brands should I stay away from?
Oh, I'm also thinking about going -1 in the front. Anything special i need to know about that?
TIA peeps!

www.denniskirk.com My buddy just got the RK 520 quick acceleration kit (-1 up front) from them for $150 with free shipping and it came in 2 days. Super nice chain and really easy install. The only thing that I didn't like is that it has a clip type master link, but I really don't think it will be a problem, I'll just keep an eye on it. Heres the link for the chain kit One other cool thing about that chain is that its also 2 pounds lighter than the stock chain. I could tell a difference from riding my stock chain with -1 tooth up front and his 520/light sprockets/and -1, there is deffinately a difference. I'll be getting one when mines time to replace.

well...yea the owner's manual says either and my OG chain was RK and lasted 12K...but after that...my buddies and myself and others in our ride group have been having crap luck with RKs...ever since we went DID, no problems whatsoever. that's why i'm all about DIDs.
But if you have had good experience with RK, then go with RK...i got ****E with EK and RK...and nothing but love from DID.
