What are your thoughts on their comments? Agree, disagree or "I dont give a toss cos my bimmer dont have one"

I've been telling people this for years. Brand name chain is for people who don't know the difference - the sort that think chain side plate thickness is the deciding factor in its ultimate strength or wear rate and so heavier must be better.

I'm a little anal about looking after drive chains and as a consequence I've never replaced one. I usually sell or trade my bike before the chain wears out.

So thats your excuse for changing bike every 2 seconds Jim!! I've been wondering what it was.
