Not hijackin', but they said they could get chain cheaper if they bought 1000 pre made chains than buying roll chain and spinning them themselves.
I don't doubt that. The rolls are 100 ft, that makes 60 loops of 20" chain, if they bought 1000 loops I'd say they would hit some massive discount. They also don't have to invest in the tools, or pay the tech to spin a loop... BUT they loose business like this non-standard Stihl dl count. They cannot fix a chain w/ a broken cutter or two... other "full service" stuff they can't offer as well.
Running high pin rims for racing is easier if you add a link per pin increase 73 dl for a 3/8th 20" instead of the 72 dl normal to run an 8 pin rim. I haven't had trouble w/ stock lengths on 8 pin, no way I could fit a 9 though as the bar is nearly against the rim w/ the 8 pin.
