Hey guys - I would like your input on Mika Metals x-ring chains if you have real-world experience.

I have always run DID ERVT x-ring chains and I love them, GREAT PRODUCT, but am open to trying Mika Metals chain (or others you guys swear by) given the DIDs I was using are harder to come by.

A bike I just rode had Mika Metals products all over it and I was impressed with the apparent quality, so it got me thinking ...

Been running Mika for years with steel DDC sprockets or the Mika hybrid and love them.  We run mud, desert, dust...80-100 mile races at A/pro 250 level.  Ran'em in the Ironman class at GH 4 times...excellent chains.  Side note, I highly doubt they are OEM.  I believe 90% of all chains are made by 2 OEMs and then private labeled.
