[QUOTE="RADRick, post: 1099508, member: 60936"] There really are only two considerations when it comes to chains. Application and price. As stated earlier, the tensile strength of even a cheap chain is higher than the output of a modern dirt bike so it's a usueless factor for comparison. Most any name brand chain on the market today is as good or better than the stocker. When deciding between standard and o-ring (or its many variants) chains, the main considerations should be application and your own tendencies towards maintenance. O-ring chains are typically a better choice if you ride in muddy or sandy situations. Their sealed design is better at keeping the crud out while you're riding. If you primarily ride groomed tracks or established dry trails then a standard chain is probably a good bet. The caveat with both is that they require proper maintenance. Both need regular cleaning and lubing; the o-ring needs less lubing, less often. If you are the type to neglect it, go with the o-ring chain. If you aren't, then a standard chain will probably be cheaper in the long run. A properly maintained o-ring chain will outlast a standard chain, but at a higher initial cost. O-ring chain lube is also slightly more expensive and must be used to protect the rubber components. A standard chain can be lubed with almost anything in a pinch. [/QUOTE]
