Witch is better an o ring or non o ring chain for dirt?

O ring will last a lot longer.

o ring is better chain imo but need more cleaning to keep in good shape but then again a chain should be maintained regardless.

O ring holds the grease inside the rollers/pins better...
i ride with my chains bone dry on the outside..i do lube
them before a ride...10mins later they are bone dry again..
i still get 20 rides from one..
they are a desposable item is how i see it..

go with a O ring chain....

I don't know which is better. I've never had an o-ring chain. I've never worn out a chain. But on racing bikes I changed them every year. But I had a top secret chain cleaning and lubeing routine. ....ARH

Does anyone know where I can get a o ring chain for a hawk stock gears? I've been looking around and it seems everyone is out of stock!
