    In Finland we have this thing called skeneketju, referring to the KMC z510 HX. Tried and tested. Price is around £15. Only downside is that its so extra wide that it wont fit a mini park tool chain brute tool...

    Also used NJS track chains are mostly good deals, they are mostly in like new condition. I wonnder why the Izumi is twice the price to Daido and HKK at NJS-export?

    For riding purposes i cannot understand getting a £70 chain

    Has anyone else found the lowest position of the bontragers to be quite short and without a nice flat section? At least my smallish hands just dont seem to fit in there, leaving a gap in the middle of the palm and thus leading to uneven pressure. An extra bulge of handlebar tape in the right spot might help but...

    I've always thought that a rat IS the mainbike and other bikes are for special purposes like sunday coffee shop rides

    the cheaper models do look very differently shaped from the "real" ones. the cut-out is much larger in most of the nicer models

    i've had a stratos for 2-3? years now. i like it. it looks like its from space (bonus)
