Re: [ST] Chain Wear Index



I knew I'd seen it somewhere.
>From  http://www.powersportsnetwork.com/
"Wear Life Index: 800 - A wear life index is a way to compare one
chains probable life to another under identical circumstances. A
higher number indicates longer chain life. "

If you search for "wear life index", you'll find other
confirmations that a higher number is more durable.
