Anyone have a good outlet for roller chain? Is diamond brand worth the price difference? Looking at #60 and #60H. Thanks

I use Daido chain.
Never had an issue with it.

I was told by the industrial supply place 60H is better suited to high speed applications. Anyone else ever hear this? For use on my baler he claimed it wasn't worth the extra money.

Best chain I have ever had is D.I.D. from Japan. Usually in a yellow box. Probably the stuff Jeff Z. referred to.I spliced three odd pieces together once that were all new. The Japan lasted way better.

Just do a radiation test on it because I don't know how far their factory is from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.
