Here's some comparison videos I did today....all four .325" chains were run on the 550 XP running a seven pin rim. I wish I had an untouched factory loop of LPX/RSC That I could have tested against, but I don't, so these chains represent the most meaningful comparisons that I can make with the chains I have on hand.

First video: 66 DL sq work(LPX)




1st cut: 4.10
2nd cut: 4.36
3rd cut: 4.43
--------------------------------------------
Second video: 66 DL sq work RSC-(fastest chain I submitted in the last build off)




1st cut: 4.21
2nd cut: 4.46
3rd cut: 4.02
--------------------------------------------
Third video: 81 DL sq work-LPX





1st cut: 4.28
2nd cut: 4.25
3rd cut:4.20?

--------------------------------------------

Fourth and final video: .81 DL Carlton practice race chain Which has been the topic of this thread:




1st cut: 3.62
2nd cut: 3.83
3rd cut: 3.68
4th cut:3.71

--------------------------------------------

I know it's apples and oranges comparison, but just for the heck of it I decided to see how that chain compared to the Mastered boob'd 562xp running a factory loop of 3/8 LGX:





1st cut: 3.29
2nd cut: 3.30
3rd cut:3.48
4th cut: 2.95? (Boy that New LGX stretches a lot-lucky I didn't throw it.)

Holy crap :o . I thought you were on top of your chains before and looks like you got it by both reins now.  8)

Another one to watch out for in the chain build off rounds.  ;)

Guess I can go back to hiding in my hole with my non filing butt.   :-[


Keep up the good work. You caught on fast.

Thanks for all the help Kevin. I learned an awful lot from you guys. Race Sure is a hell of a lot of work for a few tenths of a second!

When  raced I was one of the slow guys looking for tenths. I remember the top guys out there that was searching for the hundredths difference.

Yeah they were that good in testing their chains.

That's not a real good one. A work chain with stoning.

There's so many to sort through I'll get to it tonight or in the morning.  30+ boxes and envelopes in 10 days
