Friendly Chain Competition

[WKEND LUMBERJAK]

Sooooo, what we should take away from this is. . .

AWOL is a witch?

Maybe he has a Jonsered 80 he built that is just spooky fast and has a ton of torque. Alan it needs a bigger sprocket.

 

[Hedgerow]

Yeah, it was. You couldn't tell?!

I'm not all that observant...

 

[awol]

Well there wasn't enough of the original chain left for anyone to be able to tell what make it was! It barely weighed half of what a new chain weighs.

A bigger sprocket? Hmm, maybe a ten then.

Beware the ten....
I'll let you figure out the rest...

That chain will move some stuff...
The chrome being gone just makes carving on it easier!!!
I'm thinking 3120...

Oh, and for what it's worth, I liked the stock RS offering better than the stock RSL!!!
It was smoother!!
Moparmyway's chain found a saw it really liked in the 7900.. Pulled hard, but was smooth, and skip to boot.. It had about 20-25 degree top plate FWIW... Was just right for the Hackberry, just couldn't remove the gobs of pine fast enough.. Teeth were a little short..
Just some observations...

That chain wasnt even ran untill you threw it on last weekend. Seems you and mdavlee have the rest of us by a good margin....... Back to the drawingboard for me !!

Awols chain with 7 seconds in the pine.

Your skip chain ran good...
Very smooth.. So file that away in the info bank..
Do a full comp on the next race!!

Thanks Hedge !!!
I have an 84 dl all done, just hanging on a magnet.

I dont know if I will ever do another "race" chain - that thing took too much time and too many files/burrs.

 

[Moparmyway]

Yes... And don't forget to throw Moparmyway in the lake too...

 

[Hedgerow]

Don't worry...
As long as you weigh less than a small rock, you'll sink, and all will be good..???

Maybe I was dreamin' about the Mac 125cc kart saw when I filed it.

 

[awol]

Well I've tried a seven, eight, and nine tooth rims, all that's left is a ten. The seven was awful, the eight was pretty good, and the nine was pretty good also.

 

[mdavlee]

14 FTW!!!!!!

 

[awol]

14 FTW!!!!!!

And I thought it took balls to pull a ten!!!

These race chains seem to like speed in the cut, I think Hedges 7900 was a real good match for mine, at least in the soft wood.

 

[mdavlee]

Bike saw will pull a 14. A 120cc racer would probably do a 10or 11.

 

[Hedgerow]

Them 10's are chain flingin' bastards...
Gotta have a special bar for em'..

Any of you all up for it?

 

[Moparmyway]

Too far for me ............. otherwise I have a few saws and chains that need to be run
