Hi as the title says anyone used a THC O-Ring chain? saw this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/THC-O-Ring-520-H- ... 3a58b19d6b on eBay and it seems very cheap for an O-ring, is it cause the quality is poor? I know the answer is prob yes but if anyone has used this make it would be nice to know?
THC Chain

It is cheap because it is a Chinese brand. I have no experience of their chain.
I think the chances of it breaking are unlikely but the damage if it does can be high.
Could be worth trying?

My next chain will be a DID o ring. It may cost a bit more but I am expecting it to be value for money in the long term as it should last longer.

I have just bought one of these, will see how it goes. No off road use so should be a while i hope!

You have the case saver fitted
From experience, Many years ago, I purchased at auction, a massive bench vice, which was something I needed at the time.
On inspection this vice was a Chinese import, and more than likely made from metal that had been hardened to the consistency of crackers[Chinese], one good clamping down stripped the threads straight of "Hoo, phlung Dung", was amongst the expletives flying around the garage, along with bits of vice.

Whats the case saver??

Case saver is the sprocket cover - a sacrificial piece that takes the hit if the chain breaks and hopefully 'saves your case'...

I was under the impression the case saver was the metal bracket btween the casing and the cover?? But yes i do have that fitted
