  • Tsubaki chain for Max IV...

    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.

          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.)
