Sedis chain

[Thomas Schaller]

Can someone tell me about his experience with SEDIS chains for Mountain-Bikes?
What type do you use?
Do you know the difference between a SEDIS SCM 50 and a SEDIS SCM 55? Or
do this chains have a different numeration system in the US? Are they on
the same level as a Shimano HG-91 chain?
Thanks for your help!
Thomas

Sedis chains are always better than Shimano. I usually use the SEDIS ATB chain.
SEDIS SCM 50 & 55 are this years models, suposed to be better for 8 speed
cogsets, especially Sachs.

Actually, the Sachs chains for this year are:
1) The low end OEM SC-40
2) The MTB strong SC-M55
3) The Oddball Road strength only SC-R80
4) The ultra strong SC-M90

All are 8 speed compatible. The SC-M90 is incredibly strong, but
it's also pricey. I run the M55, and change it twice a year.

How do Taya chains compare? I like the master link, but is that all
they have going for them?

IMHO, the Taya's are low end, and not reliable. The master link
is cool, but I've used it and do not trust it. Stick with the
Sedis, don't break it to clean it, and you won't have any
problems. I feel a chain should only be removed when it's
replaced. If you install the link pin carefully enough, take care
of your chain and avoid real nasty chain suck, your chain should
never "just break" on it's own. I always carry chain repair tools
on rides, since I havn't figured out how to repair a chain with a
rock (although I've fixed about everything else that way), and
chain breakage makes for such a long walk. However, since I
follow my own rules about chain care, I have not had a chain
break on me in 7 years.

THe only feedback I have been able to get on Taya chains (aside from my
own limited but trouble-free use) is some bike shop guy who thinks that
anything removable is dangerous, and that master links are a gimmicky new
invention. I didn't have the heart to tell him that my 1200cc motorcycle
uses a master link!
