RollinRhino Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 For MX the RK chain is pretty good. Ran those on all the bikes but haven't yet on my Banshee. I am running a DID X ring chain and so far its held up nicely and hasn't stretched but I ride mostly trails. Cam is right though, make sure the guide is on the arm not bent and the rollers are present and accounted for, and especially the bottom roller. I used to use the Silkolene chain lube but that stuff dried out too quickly and have switched to the Chain Wax and that is ten times better. You have to lube before every ride btw. The best advise it to do a five minute ride to get the chain hot and then spray it so it bonds better to the metal and your chain will last a longer time.
