DID VM2 chain....any good?

[wilz1234]

Looking at replacing my c+s on the 7r. Found a place that will do a did gold x-ring chain, with standard sprockets for 95 quid delivered. Anyone had one of these chains? Are they worth the money or should i go for something else?

Stuck a DID VM chain on recently, it does the job, hasn't rusted and well... looks like a chain.

EDIT:

May as well go down a tooth on the front whilst you are there, bro picked up a smaller front sprocket for his 7R for cheap.

OHH and you will want a massive breaker bar and a fat guy to help you get the front sprocket nut off. 7r front sprocket nuts seem to seize on extremely tight.

Got all the tools, incuding a fat friend to bring over
I would go down a tooth but as of next week im commuting 60+ miles a day on it, till i get a more suited bike for commuting. I would love a bit more poke from a smaller sprocket, but not to keen on cruising down the motorway at 8000rpm
