What the number of links required for a replacement rx3 chain ?
What a popular choice of chain used my other RX3 owners ?

Here in the US, CSC's version of the RX3 uses a 110 link 520 chain. That said, the metallurgy of the OEM chain is well known to be crap and they generally wear out in around 5,000 miles (8,051 kms). Recommended replacement brands would be EK, RK, or D.I.D.; I'm personally using an EK SRO6 chain with a rivet master link on mine, which has a little over 17,000 miles (27,375 kms) on it, and it's still OK. You can get it on Amazon for $54 US, add another $12 for a rivet master link if you don't want to use the clip on master link that comes with the chain.
