chain

[racerone3]

getting ready to order chain for my attex racer. i'd like to get some recomendations from the experts. i've looked at Tsubaki, and U.S. Diamond web sites, but they each have about 20 choices for #50 chain. what brands, types are you guys running and who has a good source. motion industries worked out great on the bearings so if someone had a part # for chain from them i'd certainly be interested. should i be looking for "O" ring chain?
thanks for the help

I use the Diamond chain. Got it thru a local bearing house. I don't have a #, but it was about $6.95 a foot. Quite a bit more than a lot of brands, but you get what you pay for. It doesn't seem to stretch as much as the cheaper import brands. You don't need "O" ring chain.

I use either Diamond or US Tsubaki from Motion Industries. They cost about the same and I haven't noticed a difference in the performance of either one. If you sit them side-by-side, you can see that the Tsubaki is a heavier chain, using more metal on the sides of the links. I'm not sure if that means the Tsubaki is better, or they use inferior steel and have to use more to make up for it.

I use the diamond brand as well, and I purchased it through motion. It stretched some initially, but has held up well to the 50+ hp and 25" tires. O ring chain is really expensive and probably overkill.

Tsubaki also comes in non US made and isn't as good as the US made.
