I had my chain replaced last year an now have a couple K kms miles on it. Went out for a first ride last weekend and threw the master link and chain. On quick inspection the chain looks ok. It didn't snag catch or appear to have been damaged.
The crap part is the dealer/shop that did the chain appears to have gone bankrupt late last year.
So I went looking at options at other shaps and nobody could match the chain it wasn't the typical brand. The shop used a dongbo (DBC) chain from China. it hs markings of DBC 530OL on the chain. I did some internet research and can find the corporate site for this company , but can't locate who I can get a new link from.
Lesson learned...., I should have check whose parts they were going to use, as I presumed (incorrectly) as they were a reputable shop, I would get name brand parts, and to boot they obviously had some workmanship issues as well
If I can get a new link, I would like to go this way and don't want to spend another $250 or so to get another chain.
