Osymeric. Get the French-made version, sand off the logos and they look awesome.

You take a shifting hit but it's worth it for the buttery feel.

drainyoo, how much do you weigh and how are the extralite's? are they as stiff as sram red rings (im assuming they aren't) but would love to hear more about this.. im 130 lbs and thinking about extralite rc2 as a swap. is the black ring chip off paint or you'll always see black when your chain eventually wears this down?

my current sram red 50-34t, 10 spd exogram has no more paint :( looks sad and worn...I was also looking at the praxis but read that you need to file down for that hidden bolt? is this same case for extralite? thanks and sorry for trolling this post to the OP :>
i love udon.

Extralites have a catch pin which can be mounted in 2 locations - perfect for the exograms.
