  1. What do we know about "Triple S" brand chains, boys and girls?

    It's like double S brand, only with more S.

    It's not DID ZVM or VM, so avoid imo.

    Hmm... They're cheap too.

    I thought you said RK was good too?

    Mine hasn't even needed adjusting in over 8k.

    RK chains are good, but my preference is for DID VM and ZVM.

    Cool, that's ok then.

    FWIW I can't fault the pattern sprocket I got from Mick Bull either,
    £4.50 and still as good as new. Wish I could say the same for the
    Renthal one I had on for a while.

    Had one on the Trumpet when I bought it, along with the snottoiler.
    Previous owner reckoned over 18 miles at that time.
    I noticed the sprockets where a bit worn, and the rear a bit too big IMHO
    for motorway stuff, so fitted new chain and sprockets about 1k ago. Triple S
    chain came in my kit. Seems ok at the moment. Time will be the teller.
    Apparently some sort of Yamaha Race Team endorses them as their flavour of
    the season.

    HTH.

    That's great and everything, but us mere mortals tend to keep chains on
    our bikes for longer than a couple of hundred miles :mad:
