530 / 525 & 520 all have the same breaking strain so use the lightest ie.520.
non o ring will transmit more power than an o ring chain on short circuits but at the TT the o ring chain is better as the non o ring gets hot and loses its lubrication.
There is very little difference between makes of chain these days so go for the best deal.
I took the shell off my racing snail thinking it would make him faster.
It just made him more sluggish.

Weve just bought Sean Hegartys F1 Lcr Jeff. It uses 520 O ring chain with no probs. Regina by the way but weve just fitted a Tsubaki because Shirlaws have sent us some . I used Tsubaki on the TZs at the TT in the 80s and it was also fine. Just ask for the best chain of any make avilable.
