#40 Stainless Steel Roller Chain

How well will this hold up to regular use in dirt, wet ect?

Here is a couple links ...

Donghua® ANSI #40 SS Stainless Steel Roller Chain, 10 Ft With 1 Connecting Link, Single Strand, Corrosion Resistant Material, Durable In Harsh Elements: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific

Amazon.com: #40 Stainless Steel Roller Chain - 10ft Box: Home Improvement


At near $70 its a bit much but if it lasts a few years and is easier on the sprockets .... ????

No one has tried this stuff?

I'll bet it stretches like crazy. That's why I don't use stainless nut and bolts because the threads stretch. Stainless is is very hard to machine but it's actually a soft material and displaces very easily.

AJF has it correct, looks great, and polish-able to an extent
would be great on a show bike.
it would be great to have other than a 10t clutch
and a quality #40 chain

I've been running it on my Super Bronc for a year or so. It doesn't seem to require any more maintenance that a normal chain but it looks real NICE.
