Broke my second SRAM PC-48 bike chain yesterday coming home
from work. Broke the previous one about 2 months ago I
think. Ironically, the first broken PC-48 occurred climbing
a hill on the way to work and yesterday, the PC-48 broke
climbing the back side of same hill on my way home from work.
Swung by the LBS at the top of the hill in beautiful downtown
Amherst, MA to buy a new PC-48 w/ spare master link and the
owner said they don't sell that model chain anymore. I'd
have to get a PC-58 or better.
The fellow said they'd been having lots of problems with that
chain breaking. Just too cheap a chain and they wouldn't sell
it any more.
So I think I'm done with the PC-48 now. It's PC-58 for the
mountain bikes and PC-68 for the road bikes.
Anyone else hear anything about PC-48 chain failures? Until
this year, I'd always considered it a pretty good chain for
the money.
