close shave chain snaped
Polar-Bus:
I'm pretty sure Sidewinder chains are actually a Regina ORN6 just rebadged... 8-)
if so, good call, adjust it once after about 5 hours, and that will be the last adj that chain will ever need !

The owner of sidewinder is friends with my biological father he's a pilot for southwest airlines I found this out when ordering the chain a few weeks ago that the owner of sidewinder took lessons from my father (he's an instructor) and when I told the sales guy on the phone my last name he ask me if that was my father then we had a long long converstation about the process they go through to make their chains.
(for the record I have used their products for over 25 years and have no affiliation with them I just found out that the owner took flying lessons from my father a few weeks ago) I had to be clear on that
I haven't spoken to my biological father in 20 years but had a great talk with the sidewinder owner and he assured me that they aren't rebadged regina chains :)
Polar bus you didn't strike me as the kind of guy that would make a claim like that without some proof but life never stops surprising me, but I assume you were joking to razz me for spending that much loot :) it's hard to tell what people mean on the internet but the guys at sidewinder were real good to deal with but expensive.
I guess he could be lying to me :)

Ok I read my post again and hope I didn't come accross sounding nasty it wasn't meant that way :) but for the money I put out nobody wants to hear that they bought a repackaged regina chain ya know what I mean :)
Polar-Bus:
OK, maybe I am thinking of MSR chains ?
