Re: x or oring chain
I've got plain chains on me my bikes, just spray it everytime i get back from a trundle. Think xring chains are supposed to cause less drag, but never tried one.

Re: x or oring chain
X-Ring aren't worth the premium over O-Ring, it's a marketing gimmick. They claim longevity but even using DID stuff I've not noticed any real benefit worthy of the investment. If you look after your O-Ring properly, it should last 20k miles or more.
Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.
