    I always go for D.I.D x ring chain, sprockets sometimes Renthal, Afam or Talon. I usually change them all at the same time, don't like the idea of a new chain on a worn front or rear sprocket.

    Ditto on the DID Gold X-Ring chain but I've never been brave enough to step away from OEM sprockets :)
