I went with driven / afam sprockets. and an EK chain. Got the kit from Motomummy and was very pleased with it.

A properly maintained chain should never rust, just give them more attention people.

I LMAO at the guys who tell you that WD-40 will eat away at the o-rings/seals and then tell you that they use kerosene to clean their chains. MORONS

good info. WD-40 will not harm the o rings but it can work its way past the o rings and wash out the grease...
