I'm in the same boat ...... mine is looking a bit minging. Previous owner road the bike through Autumn commuting in London, did it no good at all.

I was thinking of one of the gold DID type chains, will be interested to see what others say.

I wouldn't go near a DID...................... seen/heard of too many snapping, especially gold ones. May be just bad luck but it's too regular for my liking.
I've been fitting Tsubaki SigmaR for 3 years now without even so much as a hiccup. Far from lightweight, but they last well, don't stretch too much and are cheaper than the DID.

Nelly fitted a tsubaki for me and I've been very impressed, It's only needed adjusting once in 6K miles

Tsubaki you need their special tool to fit one.....did use the regular chain rivetter!

Who's Max Biaggi??? :puzzled: :devil:

I'd recommend Tsubaki also. Never had any trouble, and I ride all year round... never get's cleaned either. Though better check it before Oulton in May.
