Somebody knowing about chains....

Here in Sweden is the JT sprockets well known as a good quality sprockets.

Noticed the JT chains and wonder about them. Anyone use them on more poweful bike and can tell about them?

Also, looking JT Sprockets: Chain
Chain X1R and Z1R, do I understand they are done for very powerful bikes, or...what do the "avg"(average?) means before "Tensile Strenght"?

Thanks!

 

I really haven't heard of JT chains but what bike do you need them? Many other chain manufacturers allso give tensile strenght so you can compare if you wan't. Are they much cheaper then did, rk, ek or tsubagi? These are all good chains.

 

Thanks for the input. I was just curious. Funny, noone has Heard or test the chains?!?(asked on other forums to)

I know the JT sprockets is very good and when now JT has chains for almost hakf of the price comparing RK etc....I was starting to wonder.

Funny is also when Reading RK/EK etc lists, the recommend very strong X-ring chains, the o-ring chains has not enough tensile strenght for bikes lije R1 etc.

Starts to wonder, how about 90`s when there was no x-rings?

 

The style of the o-rings have nothing to do with the strength of the chain. The o-rings (or x-rings) are just there to keep lube in the pins, and dirt out.

I use JT sprockets, but never a chain from them. Always d.i.d.
