Cheap chain

[1974jh5]

A while back I bought a cheap 530 O ring chain from D2Moto, it was ~$48 for a 110 link in choice of colors, I got one with black plated links. Someone asked how my luck was with it, at the time I didn't have enough mileage to make a true assessment.

I am running it on a 17t countershaft and 33t rear sprocket set, both are steel JT brand. I put it on, set the slack, rode ~50 miles and set the slack again. It's now at ~650 miles, the chain has not required another adjustment yet. Looking pretty good so far for a low buck chain.

I'd say very good luck.

Good, cuz I bought a "Western Powersports" (Western China, I'm thinking...) from Amazon for around the same price. I figured for no more miles than I'll put on this bike, that's plenty.
