    unsure as to what to get for my 2005 blade. I don't do many miles on road general commute to and from work. However I'm increasing trackdays this year so am slowly transitioning it from road bike to full track until I get a new bike just for road. Just looking for ideas on brands people reccomend . I have looked at the supersprox stealth does anyone have experience with these.

    Renthal for me. Light, reasonably priced and easy to get hold of.
    The sizes are in my sig, although don't think a 520 conversion is necessary, my bike just came that way.

    Ah, yeah. Great stuff jokey. That's really the go, and with 7 colours we can have a different chain for each day of the week!:)

    I think ocd would set in with a coloured chain. The marker pen would be out all the time touching up dirty coloured links.

    Currently got D.I.D HD gold chain on mine, it's done 24k including 2 winters & still looking good with wear left.

    Renthal with gold 530 DID HD here, keep it clean and lubed its lasting well and needs less freqent adjustments than the OEM. Renthal sprocket is certainly lighter than the original uncertain about the chain. If your opting for track use then perhaps a 525 just expect it to wear quicker.

    Not a huge fan of coloured chains either.

    Got the same on my 2011. Ironically, the SPs (which boast many upgrades) come with a tacky looking chain that looks as if it's come from a wrecking yard.:(
