January 29, 200917 yr Author Cheers scragg - yep avoid Iris like the plague after all the horror stories i have read. Its down to DID and REGINA
January 29, 200917 yr I use Regina chains on all my bikes. I did have one fail at the split link though but replaced the link and all is well.
January 31, 200917 yr I do think the Renthal chain is the best in terms of resistance to stretching and chain life, but I agree that it is expensive. If it's any help to your decision, Renthal don't make the chains. Regina make them for Renthal to Renthal's own specification.

February 3, 200917 yr good choice, regina chains are the best IMO, they have the best tensile strength, every bike I own is equiped with a regina chain
