What sort of chain maintenece do you do and how often?
I've never really been able to get high mileage out of any chain without stetching it past the 1/16" mark, but 400 miles is unacceptable for a $50 chain. I wonder if Izumi has started slipping in cheaper softer metals to save $, or maybe there was a bad batch of chains.
