Chains...

Looking to change chain+sprockets (steel) on my xt6e for an impending road trip to Berlin (they need changing soon, anyway!). I've only had to change these on my previous 4-cyl bikes but i understand big singles are much harder on these items, so i don't want the cheapest kit - but i don't want to spend a fortune either. So is the good ol' DID x-ring the best option, or would an Afam, say, be a decent alternative?

JT sprockets are the cheapese quality sprockets. Anything cheaper is just crap.

DID 0-ring will do the job nicely.
