In my experience they f***ing well don't. Some of worst crap on meerkat.

Buy tsubaki or DID, only ones I would touch. I use tsubaki.

Been using Iris for years but I do get them at cost, never had a issue nor have most of the club racers that use them either.

No 520's dont snap especially with 70hp going through them.

Yes as I said if you are going to use a Heavy Duty standard chain on the road look after it.

I don't know about the standard ones, but their O and X ring ones are mince.
Case of false economy for road use, you pay 1/3rd less and get less than half of mileage. I got over 30k out of a tsubaki sigma O ring chain.

Standard chains aren't too bad for maintenance, can you still get that grease that you boil in a pot?

Similar, I think the white stuff is just white grease with a bit of sticky in it. You could try mix some chainsaw oil with white grease.

Castrol racing lube is nearly as good, scottoiler is better.
