Chain recommendation

[eeshed]

Hey there,
I see prices of 530-110 chain all over the map and I am confused.  What would you recommend for a chain replacement?
Thanks,
Eyal

What he said.  Any chain will last longer if it's properly maintained...that being said, the low-end chain a dealer installed in a pinch before my trip was driving me OUT of my mind with adjusting the slack out of it.  By the time I got to South Carolina (5,500 miles), I had enough.  I replaced it with an EK-ZZZ chain along with both sprockets.  I put 12,000 hard, wet, dusty miles on the new chain before I reached home.  I wiped it down at the end of each day, shot it with some Chain Saver Teflon and adjusted it once.  ONCE!  Got another 3,000 miles on it and still regard it as my "new" chain.

Here is where I bought mine. 139.00 plus shipping ? I think some other members have also purchased from them

Very helpful post there George!  I paid over $200 for the same chain and was happy at that price!
