Chain

OMG is there a chain out there that will not rust. I live in South Padre Island, TX and the salt water is killing me. Any suggestions? The chain wax and oil doesnt protect from this salt water

Re: Chain

The valley, holy crap.I grew up in harligen Tx!Have'nt visited in 20 years though.How bad is it now?Oh yeah! Get a gold chain, DID or RK are good brands.The gold is actually a cad plating that helps with oxidation & other enviromental things.Try not to use a new chain on used sprockets though.
