Did I get ripped

[Trx250r180]

Im thinking i might offload my 0.058 in favour of 0.050 but in saying that does one offer an advantage over the other ???

.058 is a husky thing i think ,it will carry a little more oil in the troth over the .050 ,i like .063 myself ,it helps oil longer bars better
the .050 will run in the .058 rail ,but may derail easier and wear things funny from the slop so not recommended ,
Just get a couple of the right chains from a local shop ,or better yet get a couple good chains from Treeslinger ,they will most likely be square ground ,that is a whole other subject though .
If you buy chain locally ,ask what guage they stock ,may be easier to get another bar ,and just sell the one you have .

Really no sense investing a lot of effort answering that as it is in the archives on here a few times a month. Might look and see what skip chain comes in if you intend on using that.

That's OK fanny ... The best solution I came up with is I continue running 0.050 in the short term and buying 0.058 or 0.063 a few months down the track in the long term
After ringing around I found out my saw was imported from USA therefore why it has 0.050 running gear
Saga over

Just that orange thing that goes over the bar and chain when your not using it

its called the "scabbard"

I'll check them Monday ... only ones I found online were overseas ... I live in Australia

If you have a local fire house the probably have standards for replacing their hoses and toss a few out in the garbage every year. I use hog ring pliars and hog rings to make a custom length scabbard for $2. Trick I learned from some friends up North...
