Tsubaki chain for Max IV...

[Rusty-Gunn]

Hi. I need to learn about chains. Max IV uses...
Front chain length: 122 links
Rear chain length: 116 links
Primary chain length: 52 links
Is his correct?
I figure this is two chains for each, right and left side.
I figure this means master links included in "links".
Total length would be 32 feet. Correct?
I also learned Tsubaki makes 530 in Omega (9000# strength) and Sigma (10600# strength).
Is Omega enough for a Max? Sigma costs a lot more but is a bit stronger. If Omega is enough, being Tsubaki, then I'd save a bit.
Where do you guys buy your chain?
Thanks.

Regarding outfitting my Max IV...
Omega would be about $550.00
Sigma would be about $745.00

Prices from Amazon/ebay.

Would you be satisfied with Omega chain over sigma? I guess I'm asking if the extra 1,600 pounds strength is worth the extra cost.
What level strength is a minimum for a Max IV?

How does Diamond chain compare, pricewise and strength?
Any other quality chains recommended?
Lets settle this whole ordeal and Sticky it.

I got the gold O-ring chain from mfg supply. Its rated in between the two at 9790 pounds and costs quite a bit less. They also have it without the gold plate for a bit less but I figured the extra corrosion protection was worth spending the money on. Other people here have spoken well of that product.

If you decide on the Omega chain I have a new one that I could sell you that I bought before I got all mfg chains.

The factory uses Omega.

Thanks guys.
Liflod... It is good to know about which chain the factory uses. I now would have no problem buying it.
Phabib... Regarding that gold chain... Who makes it? (pm sent regarding your chain.)
