[QUOTE="spanky250, post: 166792, member: 20897"] The rate of wear of a chain is determined by two things, not counting the abrasiveness of the dirt. Roller hardness, and tensile strength of the side plates are the two key areas to check when shopping for a chain. A cheap chain will have a lower tensile strength, and a lower degree of hardness, than a more expensive chain (yes, I know this is generalizing, there are exceptions to everything;) ), and thus, if care and use are equal, the cheaper, weaker chain will wear faster. The advantage of an o-ring chain is that it minimizes one of the wear factors, that being dirt getting into the rollers and abrading the chain from the inside out. Chains are one area in which, as a general rule, you truly do get what you pay for. [/QUOTE]
