I discovered today that my O-ring chain has a bunch of cracks in the links. So I'm in the market for a high quality O-ring chain. Can anyone recommend a chain with personal experience.

I have used Diamond, RK, and currently DID. No issues but I think the RK and DID have been better choices. Tsubaki always comes up in these conversations as the premium choice but I have never tried one. It's on my want list.

I have a 24 tooth tranny sprocket so there isn't a hell of a lot room in there for an O ring chain and you have to keep it adjusted. I run an idler wheel under the chain as it leaves the tranny to keep it snugged up between adjustments.

I'm running the Tsubaki O-ring chain on my pan.  Don't have that many miles on it, but I did get a good price on it from HTT's own calif phil.
Every day, I'm one day closer...  WTF!  I'm not near 70 yrs. old!

You did say hi quality chain,   hard to beat the EK ZZZ chain.  might never need to adjust again, just clean.    also got from CA Phil.

I really liked the self lube chain over any other types.
