Just swap it with the front chain,it doesn,t work as hard.

See my link to "The Chain Gang" Loafie.
It is in the Links & Services section. A gold RK530 or a DID 530 are both long life options and well worth the money. You can expect well over 50,000 ks out of them if you keep them clean and lubed.

I got onto the MCA site, and can anyone explain the difference betweeen a X-ring and a Z-ring chain.

Shape of the rings Loafie. O ring is squeezed tight and causes a fair bit of resistance as the chain goes around the sprockets. X and Z are more like washers with raised lips and cause less drag (you get a little more hp, thats why non o-ring drag chains exist) and hold the lube in better cause they seal at the lips(double seal). Hows the front sprocket?

There's also a W shaped sealed chain which has been out for a few months. I think the X shaped is better...good seaaling ability with least friction drag
