Best chains / sprokets for dtx
-
420 pitch .... 520 pitch ... o ring ... x ring .... there areso many choices but what differance will pitch make also i understand o ring chains are better as they keep the oil in but is an x ring a gimmic .. any input or opinions would be appreciated

I ran a Renthal X ring 520 and was very pleased with it. But have since reverted back to a O ring tsukaba 428 pitch to save weight. I am now running Regina 415 on my RS.
-
JT sprockets do the job, and I'm very pleased with my Renthal R1 428 chain, about £30 and not O ring, just keep it cleaned and lubed every couple long rides and it'll do you well.

Jt sprockets from an old YZ125, and a quality 520 chain of your choice will last about forever on this bike. I used a Did vx2 chain for all my bikes.

Just go 428, no hassle.
-
@irongamer727 Never had any hassle with my 520.
Always Originate, Never Pirate!

Thanks for your help guys i decided to go with the 420 in the end just on the price factor as i got it for 40 with o ring and sprockets
-
@Calum well as you said it weights more. And there is no need for it.
-
@Irongamer727 It's unsprung weight as well.
-
Yes a 428 is lighter per link, but you also need more liks than a 520 because a 428 is smaller.
We've talked about the supersmall weight difference in another thread, so please, lets not go there again
