SRAM PC-59 vs PC-950

[Booker C. Bense]

_ I was in the shop yesterday getting a chain and I noticed
that the reliable SRAM PC-59 is now replaced with the PC-950.
Reading the back implies "better rollers" and Step2 riveting.
Anybody have any idea what this really means?

It means that in six months to a year, we can maybe get closeout prices
on the PC-59. Stock up!

The current Portugese made PC 59 has the roughest rollers in the
business. They have probably rediscovered how they made the chains 10
years ago

Probably "PC59 sales were too slow".
