Fluir and Toopre 9 sp chains

[Sepia]

Has anybody tried any of these chains? Looking for advice and recommendations as these are half the price?

If they last half the time of a Shimano/Sram chain then they could be worth it to me?

Any other suggestions will be appreciated.

Thank

I tried one in an emergency and it lasted 1/8th of a shimano chain. So only buy it if it's 1/8th of the cost

Beat me to it.

Same okes that copied the look and feel of the Park Tool branding on their tools. I would't buy their stuff just for that.

Also, OP, if you've ever snapped a chain under proper load, you'll realise that it's not a place to try saving a few bucks.

Thanks Droo,

Too old (reckon I could be one of the oldest on the Hub???) to break chains under load but point taken in all seriousness.  When top bike workshop people reply I have to listen.
