KMC vs RK Chains

[roost666]

I sell industrial chain at work, KMC is a cheaper chain but properly adjusted and continually maintained they will last, DID, RK are your much better but more expensive chain.

Never use WD40 on your chain lol i dont no why people do it, WD40 is a Cleaner/degreaser/solvent, use a chain oil, or a lubricant that has no throw off, i found chain wax to be the best

 

[$heepy]

just changed my kmc to a d.i.d. chain, god theere is a huge difference in qualtity

ive got a KMC 428 and its lasted 3 years of riding almost every day the bottm chain in the pic is a kmc, theyre very skinny

 

[coolmodee01]

yip kmc is china rubbish dont waste ya time with it but it's cheap on the import and gives companies after market sales

420 and428 chains are the same 1/2" pitch but the 428 chain has a wider roller with and thicker side plates

tsubaki chains are pretty good and i get awsome life out of em in 420 standard i'm currently running rk 420h chain and it's holding up pretty good but has streched a bit with the 175 i'll go a tsubaki 420h next time if i can get it and see how that goes

i used did chain on my big bikes in the past and have never failed but there oring chain stretches quickly

best chain lub eout is a molykote mkln you apply it and leave it for 1/2hour then wipe off the excess dirt doesn't stick to it and the chain cleans up really well

as for wd40 inox is way better

 

[Dreadful]

yeah wd40 perishes the o rings doesn't it ?

 

[topguntravis]

so are you saying don't use WD40 on chains? if not then what?

 

[Dreadful]

Chain lube ...I use motul

MOTUL

 

[DvDRip]

wd40 is a chain killer, it washes all the lube out from inside the links

i use that "tac 2 lubricant" made for bearings, chain.. something like that is fine and its only 9 bucks a can at supercheap.
