[QUOTE="Jaybird, post: 1025865, member: 22283"] :) You read me wrong, Stan. I think ring chains definately have their place on dirt bikes. I have always been an advocate of using a standard chain for dry days and track riding. But when in the slop, the ring chain should be mounted up. It's rivet master links that I really don't like. The ultimate DRN woods bike should have a ringed chain, IMO. It is my hope that Dick may ride the beast, and take it in the slop...and let the camera man know just what 500 roost is all about. :) I used to sell the "Stealth" or "Tri-Metal" as Vic Krause now calls it. I find it to be a very trick looking piece of equipment. I also find that they are built well. However, they are constructed by using titanium rivets to hold the steel outer wheel to the inner aluminum hub body, and as such, can pose a potential threat for damage or failure. I never had one customer ever complain of this situation, after SuperSprox fixed the initial clearance problem they had with these rivets. (fixing these slight issues is what got the "generation5" thing started) In fact everyone that I know who used them liked them mucho. I just think that if we are going to put together the ultimate bike, we should consider trying to keep potential problems away. A nice rock or stump could possibly play heck with the Tri-Metal....besides, Vic now charges about three times what I used to sell them for. (shrug) Time is of the essence for the sprockets, so I'm going to take the liberty of putting that into motion. For the chain, I think we need to run a poll. There are just too many ring chains that are of good quality to pick one without member input. [/QUOTE]
