its for a mito 125cc.

is it worth paying almost double for a heavy duty one? will it really stretch that much and wear out?

whats your experience with different chains?

I wouldn't have said a Mito was hard on chains.

hi,
i have used the standard chain sets (the budget ones from m&p) & there surprisingly good, for the price.
last time i bought some it was only a fiver or so extra for heavy duty, so got it upgraded free when i moaned about delivery times.
dfidnt notice any difference.
as for the o-ring chains & the fancy sprockets, thats up 2 you.
i know what looks good, alloy sprockets & gold chains (if your into that kind of thing) but is it worth paying 3 times extra?
i'd rather just buy 3 cheap sets & look after them. (for daily use)
but on my mito im going for o-ring & decent sprockets, purely because im going for the no expense spared look, lol
full 2k respray,polished frame & swingarm, oem lucky explorer decals etc
its jt sprockets anyway, regardless of whether its normal or heavy duty.
& either did or ek chains.
neither of them too bad. (oem stuff on most bikes)
get what you can afford.
cheers,
GAZ
