I am concerned with the incident where the person posted that the chain caused some sidewall damage. Is that a real possibility using these chains?

I don't remember having sidewall damage to our tires but there were some nicks to the tread, nothing that I would consider unusual when one factors in the extreme conditions and environments these chains are used in. One must remember that tires aren't made to be driven on chains for extended periods. Is it possible...I would say yes. But I think that would apply to any chains??. For what its worth...

Yes, they will deny your claim. I almost went to small claim court but I decided not waste my time. It cost me over 1000 bucks. It will not only damage wheels but torn apart covering around the wheels under body.

Any exterior chain products has the potential to have some tire/rim damaged if not used to manufactures instructions. Fitment and suggested speed is critical for not causing damage. I suggest making sure that none of the chain or cable components are not touching the rim and that the cross members that run across the tire face does not fall between the treads. If this happens it is called tread lock and tire damage is possible. Please read the instruction, note our waiver of claim if not used and or installed properly.

I don't know, but why worry about it? If it doesn't fit, just throw a short length of chain over the bar and hook the block to both ends of the chain. Ed Peters

Should be a pretty standard bike chain. I would suggest removing and taking it to a local bike shop for replacement. You can probably just lubricate the chain and continue using it.

Absolutely not recommended. The leverage would make the connection unsafe even dangerous, depending on the load. Some states have legal restrictions; consult your states regulations.

I agree with Ken S response. I would add you may not have to remove the links but just connect at the link that provide the tighten the chains as desired.

The chain saw should not of affected the assembly. Problem is one of two things. First the chain may have just come of the front or rear sprocket. Just push down on chain tensioner and put chain back on. Secound sounds like the Freewheel mechanism (racketing system) may have broken. This has not happened to me (yet) but I hear it is a common problem especially with older MX (2-3yrs old or older models). The rear sproket will turn but back wheel will not turn with it. Only way to fix is to buy complete rear wheel assembly (only way it comes) but does come with new wheel, tire, tube, sproket, completely ready to go. "Razorama.com" sells them on line for $45.00 + shipping. Hope this helps. Gary.. The chain saw should not of affected the assembly. Problem is one of two things.

Personally I would correct the installation. It may not move and appear solid but do you want to risk it with 300lbs on your back? I wouldn't. This is a safety issue and should definitely be corrected.

Have not had to replace my chain yet,but I do know Farm & fleet has a large selection of chains. I would look there first.

Hi - not sure. I recommend calling SCC. They likely will answer the phone as Peerless Group. Either way, try them at 800 873 1916. They were helpful in addressing my pre-purchase questions. I used the chains at 11,000 feet during a freak May snow storm on an old, dirt 4x4 road. The chains were outstanding.

I believe that it would as long as you don't have the chain running over the fence. The back side (or non-cutting side) of the chain would run smoothly against the fence if it were to come in contact.

I use the winch that I bought for that purpose and it does not given me any problems but regarding its safety I think I am in no position to answer that .. Check the manual

I have not had this happen. The clip is a metal clip and I can see if it was not firmly attached by the consumer the potential for this type of mishap is possible. Once the system is engaged properly I don't think it is about to come undone.

It is possible, but very difficult. The tool is not made for it. You'll destroy some of the metal of the tool when doing it.Best thing is to use a wooden board, put the chain on top, and use a hammer.

That is exactly what I used it for. I broke the old p.o.s. 520 chain and installed my shiny new DID 530 chain on my old Suzuki Katana. As long as you don't apply ogre force to the riveting part and break the pin like other people have. I actually had a spare master link and riveted that 1st to make sure I got it right, then I installed the chain and its master link without a hitch. That was 2k miles ago. Good luck and ride safe!

I am unsure about that. I would contact manufacturer and ask them to be on safe side.

I really cannot say. The first set of chains I bought were wrong and it cost to send back...heavy. I believe I got it right the second time. I checked and cross checked on tire sites and such. I have yet to have to use them but feel sure I got a good set. This may be a helpful site http://www.tirerack.com/

Hello. I also received the chain. It seems to work just fine. If the chain makes contact with another object that's conductive, it does tend to discharge to the object. However, I assume that would happen with the cable too unless the cable was coated.
