[QUOTE="levert, post: 701408, member: 28082"] My personal experience on both street and dirt is that an oring will out last a non oring. The design of an oring will have the outerplates in noncontact with the inner bushings IE less wear.Dirt or better described as abrasives will chew anywhere where there is metal to metal contact.Having one less area to wear will lengthen the life of a chain.Orings also will run cooler because of the internal grease and less metal to metal contact.Orings do have to be maintained, some use WD40 some use chain lube, some say leave it alone. I can only give my experience and that of highly trained engineers who have developed the oring.Much of this info can be seen on websites in the development of chains. I have yet to see anyone in competition in both street and dirt not use an oring.If you have luck with non oring great! Smaller CS have a higher critical angle and less area to carry the load and wear out faster and wear chains out faster. One thing we all agree on is changing chains is a hassle, so is paying for one.
