Default Is this worth getting?

I've done some research on a new chain and sprockets and came across this...

Can someone let me know if this is direct bolt on?

Or is there a better combo/deal elsewhere?

Be sure to get stainless steel sprockets.

I know a shop in a valley that sells the same kit (gold EK and stainless Driven sprockets any sizes you want) for $175, a little cheaper and they will have them in 30 minutes from the time you order. For another $75 they will install it or you can do it yourself. If you have the right tools it's easy.

Unless you ride only freeways I would recommend -2 in the front and +2 in the rear and if you do commute then atleast do the +2 in the rear.

PM me if you need any information.

Looks like a direct OEM replacement. A better chain is available that could last longer and wear better with proper maintenance and a +1 on the steel sprockets.

Another place to shop SPROCKET SPECIALISTS-Sprockets for all makes of bikes.

For comparison, a DID x-ring gold chain can generally be had on ebay for about 100 bucks.
A "STEALTH" steel/aluminium rear sprocket (VERY pimp and expensive as far as rear sprockets go but lasts forever) goes for about 80... a regular rear sprocket goes for closer to 35-50 bucks.
A steel front sprocket goes for about 20 bucks, give or take a few.

So it's an alright deal. If that's what you want then there's no reason not to get it.
