sorry, I tried, but I couldn't resist. 🙂

Amen! Can I get an AMEN!?

I am a big fan of SRAM chains... though I just picked up a nice Whipperman Stainless Steel chain for
the next time. There's gotta be a reason why they charge $45 for 'em. =)

I broke an 8-speed Sachs chain in 1997 (or was it '98?). Therefore, THEY SUCK!!!

Duh,

Marv Albert says "Yes!" (And it counts 🙂

Ed McMahon said "You are CORRECT, sir!" (One of my better impersonations, rivaled only by my
infamous Walter Brennan.)

Luke, didn't I tell ya to put the chickens in the barn?

Bill Essssss.....

(OK, so maybe Ed said "Yes", too. It was an excuse to write something.)

I broke a Sachs 9 speed chain in 2002. Therefore, the *really* suck.

After much discussion with the wrench's at the LBS, I decided to give em another go. The general
consensus was that I just had an unlucky break (kindly excuse the un-intended pun.) I will
temporarily retract my prievious statement, in the hopes that the product proves it's merit. We
shall see.

Speaking of which, has anyone used one of these beastly beasts? What justifies the cost,
if anything?

Hang on, everyone here said almost exactly the same thing as your wrench, yet you continually flamed
everyone for saying so.

Oh I _COULD_ break one, if I wanted to. Done it in a bet, once. But under "normal" conditions they
last at least a year for me.

Evidently you don't remember My question to Clyde sometime last year about how many chains he goes
through in a season. How many was that again John?

Wrong, everyone flamed me with things like, "Learn to shift correctly, learn to maintain your bike
correctly" Which I do, incessantly. I simply responded in kind. Besides, why would I trust a bunch
of faceless people on the internet....

Re-read my original thread, and count how many people actually got FLAMED back. The only ones who
did are the ones that lit said flame....all others were read by myself, and digested....

My thanks to Sorni, Huw, Bob M, Rich and Steve the spademan O for not contributing to the flamefest
that is AM-B...
