Guys,

It's time to change the chain and sprockets. I'm new at this and trying to gather as much info as I can...

1. "Considering" (not sure) 520 Conversion (vs stock 525).
2. Definitely getting ALL steel sprockets (no aluminum/alloy)
3. Can't decide which chain to go with - cuz I keep reading DID VS has higher wear number, but EK MVZX has higher tensile strength number...blah..blah...

Need your assistance in making an educated decision. Budget around $160-$190 (Shipped, incl tax if any). I've checked there are many that fit in this budget, but the #3. problem above (and sort of #1), is making me confused.

Thanks!!!

 

I would think tensile strength is directly related to wear. Stronger steel won't wear as quickly. My RK GXW 520's lasts longer then the stock DID 525 that came with the bike.
