How many miles do you get from a chain?

NOPE just sharing my experience. I bought my components from Jeff Saunders and am extremely happy with the choice. The conversion much exceeded my expectations. Where I used to adjust my chain once or even twice a week with the 630 roller chain, I now do it less than once a month. I run a Tsubaki "Sigma" chain now and am ecstatic with it. I have also found this chain to corrode MUCH MUCH Less than my old "Diamond" roller chain.

"adjust my chain once or even twice a week with the 630 "... :blink: Really?

Hmmm, other then first mileage break in stretch that is normal in any chain, I haven't had to adjust mine within several thousand miles. And I do check regularly, slack to specifications, just lube and good to go...

Ah well, no biggy....

Loving the big stock gnarly he-man looking 630.

Everybody knows 530's are for pussies. :laugh:

Just ask any gal I've talked to about this. :woohoo:

Good Fortune!

Sorry, but 630 chains are for little girls "Barbie" bicycles. Below is a truly manly chain that I'll be using on my otherwise stock KZ650 next time I change chains (I just need to find the right sprockets) :woohoo:

Ha! I don't think your 650 could turn that chain even with no load attached to it! :laugh:

And I agree the big 630 is the macho man's chain

Au Contraire! His 650 would have no problem spinning that chain. Take another look and pay attention to how the guy standing is out of focus and the chain is in close focus. It's like one of those pictures where you hold up a 10 lb fish and have someone standing back twenty feet to pretend they're holding up a 150 lb monster fish. It's all in the perspective.

That chain is probably 3" across and is being held up by two pieces of thread

Naw... that's Ed's primary chain.... for more torque :whistle: :kiss: :laugh:
