What is the big diffrence in running a maxII with standard chain or O-ring style is there any performance diffrence. I know the cost and the O-ring style is sealed

Hi

I bought quality o ring chain for my Max II and after 37 hrs on it I have not had to adjust them at all, plus I know I will not be getting dirt and moisture in the link which will shorten the life span of a chain. my philosophy is spend more now and quality or lots more later, so I spend more now to save from spending lots more later, below is the info on the chains I bought

I'm a big fan of O-ring chains. I have Tsubaki chain in my Max now but have no problem using Diamond, Drives or Reynolds chains, just steer clear of cheap chinese made chains sold in AG stores. Daido is the only "cheap" chain I'd run, it's about 2/3 the price of Diamond and every bit as strong.
