The chain appears to be of good quality. I build motorized bikes and this is their upgrade. I have used the Daido brand before and had a hard time removing the size link. It wasn't easy, but it made more sense. The big surprise for me was that when you open the box, the chain is in a continuous loop. there is no end The chain must be broken once to create an end and then again to the appropriate length. It's okay, but I don't really enjoy the roller chain braking. I would buy again without hesitation.
