Re: iris chain advise
They are a cheaper chain, but should be fine untill it wears out.

Re: iris chain advise
Keep it lubed,little and often,and it should be good for many thousands of miles.

Re: iris chain advise
I had a IRIS chain fitted , after 8k it was completely worn out ( normally get 20k + out of chain) , complained and got a Tsubaki chain + sprocket replacement for free ( result)
The Tsubaki chain has been fitted for 10k and not needed adjustment yet ( scotoiler fitted). I would keep the IRIS until its worn out but would not use IRIS myself again Cheers Steve

Re: iris chain advise
That's about the experience I've seen. They're facking mince, but not normally prone to failing dangerously.
