Chain Question
Hi guys, I might be needing a new chain soon so I was looking at the Blue 250R O Ring Chain. Has anyone have any experience with these?

Isn't Volar one of those super crappy cheap chinese ones?

Spend the money upfront and get a chain that will outlast three of these crappy chains.

I don't think DID has colors so you may be stuck with RK but their much better then the alternative

They're crap. Buy a name-brand chain, maintain it reasonably well, and enjoy 15k - 30k miles on it without a worry. (one thread describing Volar problems on this site)

Most major quality manufacturers make colored chains as well I had a RK chain for awhile but replaced it with a green Regina and am very happy with it. It has about 6000 miles on it and looks great but I am very religious as far as chain maintenance goes.

I'd rather spray paint a DID, than use some cheapo chinese chain, no matter how "cool" it looked.

Volar = CRAP.
I use an EK x-ring chain and it's been great so far. |

Had the same problem with chain life... Get a D.I.D. I'm experiencing no problems since I switched....
