D.I.D.
DID makes a variety of chains.
- X-Ring ERV "Exclusive Racing ER X-Ring"
- 520ERV3, 525ERV, 50ERV (530)
- "world's lowest friction chain"
- X-Ring VM "Premium X-Ring VM"
- 428VM, 520VM, 525VM, 50VM (530), 532ZLV
- X-Ring ZVM "Super Street X^2 Ring"
- 520ZVM2, 525ZVM2, 50ZVM2 (530)
- seems to offer greatest wear resistance.
- "The new X-Ring retains all the low friction, high performance characteristics of the standard X-Ring while providing a significant increase in Wear Resistance and overall life of the chain."
Lubrication
Aerosol
I have found "DuPont Teflon Silicone Lubricant NSF H-2" (DuPont brochure) to be an excellent chain lubricant ($6.29 from Amazon.com)
