Except the Tank/Bog/moped chain which was cheaper and stronger and WAY heavier :P

moped chains were a really shit idea,

I used one for a couple of years - ground the sh1t out of it and it lasted (was a 4-Jeri KMC)- admittedly weighed a ton, but weight wasn't where it was at in 98/99. Also had to saw the fooker to get it to size - broke a link remover trying to shorten it.
