Where to buy chain?

[Fire31]

Anybody know where to buy bulk chain? My chains are ok would just like to replace them before I head off on a long ride. Looking for 530.

I buy my chain here. No discount for buying the 50 ft. role but there is less waste when you do so.

catalog * chain * roller chain * made in usa [Shoup Manufacturing Company]

depends on the chain when i bought my machine it had 50 on it replaced it and it stretched like crazy again this time i replaced it with 530 atv/motorcycle chain its twice as think less prone to stretching just things to think about

[countrycummins99]

Motion Industries sells in Diamond and US Tsubaki in 10, 50, and 100 foot rolls. I've had good luck with both brands. Last I knew, it was about $5 a foot.

ya but motion wont sell 530 their not authorized to sell it for liability reasons

I am with Don, Motion industries has good Diamond chain. Just recently bought 50 foot at a price of 247.50. That is #50 single chain.

well when you think about replacing your chain every 1 or 2 years with cheep ]
chain compared with 5 to 8 years with high quality chain then its not so bad
a price ..usually expect from 9 to 11 a foot for the best..and most of the time
prices can be negotiated..ive tried diamond and its definitly not as good as
the brand 530 o-ring that r.i sells , when you do your reasearch on the
chain you want to buy look for the 10600 pound chain and you will definitly
be pleased with the results if you buy

McMaster Carr Is always an excellent place to do business with. McMaster-Carr They have everything!!!!! Prices are good and service is excellent. Last week I ordered a 7/8 hardened machine shaft for the terra tiger at 5:30pm I got it the next day!!!!!!

I'd have to agree that MC is another great place to get chain, as is Grainger.

I know people that go the extra mile and buy hoist chain. After the initial stretch, it's pretty much done stretching for good, and lasts a long, long time. It's easier on the sprockets and makes them last longer as well because the chain stays close to original size and the lobe isn't sliding as much down the teeth of the sprocket. I've just always been too cheap to put out the extra bucks for the hoist chain.

Here's a good place to look for anything like chain, sprockets, pulleys, hydraulics, etc; I've done business with them and they always were helpful & responsive. WWW.surpluscenter.com.
