Any reason I have to go back with a O-ring style or do I have to stay with a 530 solid chain? Suggestions?

Yeah, like 4X the chain life. The o-rings keep most of the lube from washing off. Serious mistake to go away from that.

Heck, you can run a 530 chain from your local hardware store, but I wouldn't suggest it. Personally I spend a few extra bucks and get a good named brand X or O ring chain. Less or no maintenance and they last for ever. High quality chains don't stretch, so there's no adjustments. If a chain breaks at high speed it can do a lot of damage to your bike, not to mention wrapping around the rear hub and locking up the rear wheel.
