Quality matters.
Hi there. Long time since i been checking this forum. Unfortunatelly my little GK73A is now stored dry since I was annoyed by all the electrical problems and got myself a 1000 K4 .
I ve been looking for a new chain and I came up with a golden X-ring from brooks barn on evilbay. The price is tempting due to low cash atm. Any clue on their quality? Cant seem to find any forums about it.
Cheers

Re: Quality matters.
I have had a few of the cheap chains before and have come to the conclusion that they are a false economy! My personal opinion is that you'd be better off stumping up for a DID chain instead. Is it for the K4?

Re: Quality matters.
Excellent! I'm guessing for that price it was the heavy duty chain?

Re: Quality matters.
Good price for HD chain. But shouldn't that be 525 rather than 530?
