[QUOTE="Jaybird, post: 470467, member: 22283"] Looks more like a guage than a tester. What is the principle of this gadget? My tester will actually test chains for longevity. I can run two seperate chains at the same time continuously on two different weldments that will apply the same working pressure on both chains and will measure the growth individualy. To be able to measure the drag that a chain produces would require a bit more engineering and dignostic equipment. To me, it would not be worth the effort. I can already tell you from dyno reports that a ring chain produces more resistance than a standard chain, some to higher degrees than others. In the relm of standard chains, there will be minimal difference in any high-end chain. The only time you will see a marked difference in drag of standard chains is when you have a faulty piece of equipment...bent plate, mis-alignment, etc... Even the drag of a ring chain will change as the unit warms up. My intial tests will be to see how chains comparitvely perform without lube. Then I want to test the actual longevity of a ring chain against a standard chain. (I have automatic equipment that will lubricate the standard on a periodic basis during testing...initially every 2 hours of run) Rich, I found the fluid to work very nicely for bikes. I only ride the three wheeled "granny trikes" in factories, but there is a considerable difference in resistance immediatley after application. Hope you enjoy! [/QUOTE]
