▍What’s an O-Ring Chain?

An O-ring chain is a type of motorcycle or bicycle chain that has small O-shaped rings between the inner and outer plates. These O-rings provide a lubricant retention system that helps keep the chain lubricated and reduces abrasion between the metal components. This type of chain lasts longer than traditional chains because the O-rings help to protect the internal surfaces from dirt, dust, and water that can cause wear and tear. O-ring chains are often used in off-road motorcycles or high-performance road bikes because they are more durable and require less maintenance than traditional chains.

▍O-Ring Chain Specifications

ማስታወሻ:
1) The color available for all the above o-ring chains is gold, silver, black, blue, yellow, or self-color. While inquiring, please specify the chain color and links per length.
2) If all chain parts are required to be gold (or silver), please indicate such in your inquiry.
3) If the chain is to be packed endlessly without connecting link (or master link), please specify.
4) All the chains in individually packed with color boxes suitable for retailing.

▍Benefits of O-Ring Chain

Here are some of the benefits of an O-ring chain:

1. Reduced friction and wear: O-ring chains have small rubber o-rings installed between the pins, which help to reduce friction and wear between the chain links. This results in longer chain life and reduced maintenance costs.
2. Better performance: O-ring chains perform better than standard chains in terms of power transfer and speed. Since friction is reduced, o-ring chains are able to transfer more power to the wheels, resulting in better acceleration and performance.
3. Less maintenance: Due to the presence of the o-rings, o-ring chains require less lubrication and maintenance compared to standard chains. They are able to retain lubrication for a longer period of time, reducing the need for frequent re-lubrication.
4. Reduced noise: O-ring chains are less noisy than standard chains due to the presence of rubber o-rings. The o-rings dampen the noise produced by the chain, resulting in a quieter ride.

Overall, o-ring chains offer several benefits over standard chains, which make them a popular choice among motorcycle and bicycle enthusiasts.

▍O-Ring Chain Vs Non-O Ring

The main difference between an O-ring chain and a non-O-ring chain is the presence of O-rings between the links of the chain. The O-rings seal the lubricant inside, protecting the pins and rollers from dirt and other contaminants. Non-O-ring chains do not have these O-rings and rely on the riders to lubricate them frequently to avoid wearing down the links.

Advantages of O-Ring Chain:

• Increased durability due to reduced wear and tear
• Reduced maintenance and need for lubrication
• Better protection against rust and corrosion

Advantages of non-O-Ring Chain:

• ዝቅተኛ ወጪ
• Generally lighter weight than O-ring chains
• Works well in low-stress applications

Overall, the choice between an O-ring and non-O-ring chain depends on individual preferences and intended usage, with O-ring chains being preferred for higher performance applications or those requiring less maintenance, and non-O-ring chains being better suited for low-stress applications where their lower cost and lighter weight can be beneficial.

▍How to Clean an O Ring Chain？

Cleaning an o-ring chain is important to maintain its longevity and ensure smooth functioning. Here are the steps to clean an o-ring chain:

1. First, gear up with gloves and protective eyewear.
2. Use a soft bristle brush to clean away the dirt and grime from the chain, making sure to get into all the nooks and crannies.
3. For stubborn dirt, spray a chain cleaner onto the chain and scrub it with a brush to remove the dirt and grime.
4. Rinse the chain with water to remove the cleaner and any remaining dirt.
5. Dry the chain thoroughly with a clean cloth or rag.
6. Apply a quality lubricant to the chain, making sure to not over-apply as an excess lubricant can attract dirt and grime.

Remember to clean and lubricate your o-ring chain regularly to keep it functioning well and to prevent damage from occurring.

▍O Ring Chain Installation

Installing an O-ring chain can be a bit tricky but if you follow these steps, you can easily do it:

1. Firstly, begin by placing the motorcycle on a lift or stable base to work on. You’ll need to remove the old chain and inspect the sprockets for wear and tear.
2. Carefully remove the old chain by either cutting it off or removing the master link. If the chain is cut off, ensure that you avoid damaging any of the sprockets while doing so.
3. Once the old chain is out of the way, take your new O-ring chain and lay it out next to the old chain to compare the lengths. If it’s too long, you can shorten it to the correct size by removing links with a chain-breaking tool.
4. Next, place the O-ring chain over the sprockets. Start by placing one end of the chain on the rear sprocket, and then loop the rest of the chain around the front sprocket.
5. For the master link, place the two open ends of the chain together so the pins align. Insert the master link and secure the clip on the back of the link. Make sure the clip is secure and fitted properly.
6. Once the chain is in place, use a chain tensioner or turn the rear wheel to adjust the chain tension to its correct level.
7. Finally, lubricate the chain with a motorcycle-specific chain lube to prevent wear and squeaking.

These steps should ensure that your new O-ring chain is fitted properly and ready for use!
