Either way I love them the chain is really good quality I’ve got it on 2 of my bikes is gold and nickel coloured the sprockets were also really good no sign of wear on any of my drive train

Think I ended up ditching the 520 conversion opting for a lighter Tsukaba chain set.
High quality set, think I paid a lot more than this,

@declan Style over substance mate. My bike was all about style.
It also never stretched, highly durable.

so realistically you done it once as there normally a bit of stretch not long after fitting how many mile you done since putting it on

I have DID vx2 520 on mine. On a bike like the Dt, it will never go bad when looked after.
Well worth the peace of mind when im far from home, and for me, cheaper in the long run. -

@terry-tz Having had both, I don't know whether I'd recommend it.
Reliability wise it was spot on. But then so is a high quality 428 pitch chain, without the extra drag associated with the heavier chain.
I know we're talking very minute figures, but why have the extra drag, for maybe some more reliability.

@calum it's more difficult to maintain your chain miles from home ok there is shops up and down the country but its the hassle

Chains doesnt stretch, they wear. I have 28.000km on a 520 Did vx2 chain on my xt600... Imagine the reliability on a Dt
