Okay so I just found out I don't have an o-ring chain I guess that would explain my chain allways stretching after a good hard ride okay so what is a good o-ring chain for cheap I don't want to spend a lot on it.
O-ring chain
- Thread starter yamaha blaster
- Start date
do the o-rings have anything to do with streching? i thought they were more to make the chain run more smoothly and last longer?
I think I just need a o-ring chain becuase my dad and uncle who both used to ride dirt bike together said when they put on there o-ring chain they didn't have to adjust it but mabye once after they got it.
The o-rings help keep out the crud that get into the chain and wears it out. They also increast the tensile strength of the steel in better chains that take abuse. You might as well give your money to charity than buy a non o-ring in my opinion. That way the disappointment won't be as bad when you have to tighten every ride.
Wait so your saying an o-ring chain isn't going to stop me from tightening it every ride? So should I just buy a good non o-ring chain?
An o-ring chain will last longer because of the rubber o-rings. You'll have to adjust it a little less often. The down side to an o-ring chain is that they take a little more power to turn.
Imo, you'd be better off getting a good o-ring chain
