  • Hmmmm this is starting to make sense - I replaced a chain for a neighbour in my block a few weeks back. The guy ordered Shimano Deore online, quick replacement, no worries. ‘Snapped’ when he was riding, so he bought the other spare over, and I did the same ....which ‘snapped’ again. He took it to a bike shop where they told him the chain ‘wasn’t strong enough’ (??!)

    Couldn’t fathom at the time, and thought about it a lot since. Deore is a bombproof, fit & forget; I’ve replaced hundreds of chains, and seen loads of chains which have broken and twisted/sheared the plates/pins out of shape, but there wasn’t any sign of this.

  • The WW thread starts with a fake Dura Ace chain that didn't even have hollow pins.

    As mentioned elsewhere, some UK retailers are resorting to buying sold out stock online at RRP to retain business. Hopefully the word will spread quick about potential fakes...

  • FFS. How do some people sleep at night.
