Guys say the 530 is lighter. Other than that I see absolutely no advantage. I've got another thought too. Every turn of the wheel on a 39 tooth spocket you have 39 teeth rolling over 39 rollers, where on a 47 tooth 530 you would have 47 teeth running over 47 rollers. To me and my limited mental capacity, this meens the 530 will be seeing about 20% more mechanical wear in the same miles vs. a 630 chain. Of course many other factors such as more teeth will be engaged at one time on a 530 chain so stress will be distributed over more links of the chain to even out the wear? Now like I say, my mind is not always on track, so anyone else comment?
THe advantages are many, and there are really no disadvantages to going with 530.
The chains are slightly lighter (about 1lb of revolving weight), so this equates to a small percentage increase in HP at the rear wheel.
The X-Ring chains last longer than 630 O-Ring chains. Based on comments for hundreds of customers, anything a few thousand miles better to double or more the normal life. The reason for this is the X-Ring versus the O-Ring. The conventional round O-Ring only has one sealing surface between the side plates. The X-Ring has two surfaces..
The 530 X-Ring chains are cheaper by about $10.00 than the 630 O-Ring chains..
530 chains are much more available. Try walking into a bike shop and finding 630 chain on the shelf... Probably less than 1 in 10 dealers will have any in stock..
You can get a variety of different 530 chains - including a mix of colors.
There is a high-end XW-Ring 630 chain that will last a lot longer than the conventional O-Ring 630 chains, but it is fairly expensive.
