Best place to order chain and how much do I need for a 950 (945 HK)
I've heard good things about Tsubaki chain, you can get a 10ft box of #50 for about $50 most places I've seen. But you could also upgrade to 530 o-ring chain, it's the same dimensions as 50 but has a higher tensile strength, which means less chance of breaking and less stretch as time goes on.. I'm not sure on price for that though. As far as quantity, I think 40ft is a fair estimate.
for the cost of 530 o-ring I couldnt see going with anything else to be honest. $40 per chain and free shipping

Tractor supply co. GREAT quality! 200$ for the full amount of chains and then some
On no. I've had the TSC stuff break on a flat trail, not to mention is stretches like taffy. Always buy the best chain you can afford. Use the TSC stuff as emergency back-up chain only.Quote:

The TSC chain is low quality chain made by peer in china for TSC. It has a much lower tensile strength then a standard chain. Find some tsubaki or diamond (not sapphire). Or find some 520 O-ring cheap if you can.
