    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.
    If it wasn't for a concise set of rules, we might have to resort to common sense!

    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.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

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