Does Sachs make the SRAM chains? I've heard this rumor but never confirmed it.
Back in the day when I was primarily riding off road, I had problems with Shimano chains breaking and such. I started using Sachs chains and I never had any problems. They're not as smooth as shimano, but they seem to hold up a lot better.
