I'll be in the market for for a sprocket/chain setup here shortly, and I was checking out the cheapo chains on
e-Bay too. Considering how important the chain is and how catastrophic it would be to have it snap at high speeds, I think forking out the extra money for a quality chain is worth the piece of mind alone.

I dont even see where it states its an O-ring chain. To me, it looks like its just a standard dirtbike chain, not a road bike chain. there is a huge difference between the two. The dirtbike chains only have to deal with about 35 hp and very little torque, nothing like your street bike sees. Most street bike chains will have a rating of over 9500lbs of tensile strength, which also points to this one being a dirtbike chain due to its lower strength.

I would most definitely not trust it. As stated above "You Get What You Pay For". Spend the extra cash and by a good quality chain. You don't want to be flying down the highway when that thing snaps.
