Hi,
i just want to put this in the right direction in order to avoid misunderstandings. First, you always have choice which chains you prefer.
The chains are Made in Europe. We have to ship them to the USA and we have to pay custom fees for them in the USA.
We charge our European customers by law with 19% sales tax which a non resident of the European community does not have to pay,
if he would order from the CCC company in Germany, because we would ship it outside of the EU.
So it would be a good deal to buy in Europe. According to the low exchange rate, our USA company get a better rate on this chains.
So, we are able to give the discount to our US customers.
BTW, our chains stretch only 1.5-1.7 mm the first 1000 miles. That's it. We never reached the limit of 70 mm with the reinforced chains like stock chains do. Stock chains stretch all the time when you drive, especially in race engines.
Which one is better? Which one you have to replace after thousands of miles, especially in race engines in order to avoid damages
on the crank sprockets? Why, do you think, so many racers tried the conversion with the (not well working) automatic Hi-Vo chains?
We just offer a great product and a big improvement in comparison with the poorly made stock RK chains which can be used w/o modifications.
Probably some technical background is needed to understand the advantages of these chains.
If anybody does not understand the technical advantages or the relations between the primary drive and chains,
then he does not need the chains and he should be happy with the stock chains designed in 1968 for a cheaper (not better) price.
The reinforced chains are 6 gr. lighter (each), newly developed technology and they are and much more stronger,.....probably something happened during the last fourty years in developing primary chains?
Very simple story.
nippon.
