I am running the Tsubaki nickel-plated chain right now. It is awesome. Side plates aren't the classic dogbone shape.... it is a tough mo-fo chain....
when i spoke to the dude from tsubaki in sydney he did not say if the chain was nickel plated or not only that it was o ring.I would rather fit the chain myself is it a prick of a job and do i need any tools because it has no c clip link have never done one of these chains before.did you do yours.?
You might check out the EK ZZZ chains. I'm running one now and it's really holding up well. I think it's one of the strongest 530 chains out there. I found the best prices at Parts411.com.

I take it you are going to replace both chain sprockets at the same time as the chain, right?
It's been a popular trend, lately, to replace the front sprocket with an 18 tooth unit, to get the speedo dead on, as well as improve your mileage.
Just something else for your consideration.

I replaced the chain and sprokets last summer with a DID chain, 18T front and new steel rear,
all purchased from White Buffalo Racing. They had good prices on all of the pieces. I am quite
happy with the new gearing, especially up here in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. With the
17T front, I was always hunting up and down between 1st and 2nd in some of the really tight
uphill switch backs, as neither gear was quite right; the 18T lets me stay in 1st most of the
time in these situations. The correction of the speedo is just icing on the cake.
