Your cog is slipping.
Flat rate is actually the cheapest way to send a chain because of how heavy it is. The size of the envelope doesn't matter, flat rate is flat rate.

Then you would have three useless chains that are too short instead of just one.

I'm using the three piece one that came with a 710sl. However, KMC recently changed the one that comes with the 710sl to a two piece master link similar to the ones that come with road chains, can't speak for that one yet.

I thought it was the other way around. I bought a 710 - not SL, last summer and it came with the 2 piece link, then I bought a 710 from another shop about a 2 months ago and it came with the 3 piece link. Personally, for fixed gear, I prefer the 3 piece.

in terms of headlamps, 220 lumens is not that great, plus i can't imagine how long it would last running off 4 AA batteries

Good looking deal. I can always use another front wheel, because it can be used on either a road or track bike. However, I already have a lot of 10-speed rear wheels, but only one bike that uses them. Now, if that was a set of track wheels, I'd be all over it.

Thing is, they'd make a great spare set of training wheels, and at that price it's a no-brainer. I already have a bunch of road wheels for my only 10-speed road bike with 130mm dropouts, so I'm not interested.

I have the 330's and believe the 327 are practically identical. The 330's weigh around 1900-2000g.
Honestly, it's not that bad and to be completely honest, mine worked just fine for commuting - I'd true them every now and then but they were pretty solid. Still, if you're trying to make your bike lighter, these are not the wheels you're looking for. If you're looking for a cheap wheelset to beat the hell out of, these will suit you perfectly.
I won't sell mine as I'll never get anything worth while out of them and its always nice to have a backup set.
edit: whoops, forgot the "not" in that sentence.

Charge Plug Prestige on sale at performance for $379 with the $20 off sale today.
https://www.performancebike.com/bikes...551_1108593_-1
I think it's a great deal for a complete bike. Probably better specs than a kilo tt pro. Good looking welds, nice paint, no bosses, and minimalist design, good seat, etc. Thin tube, Tange Prestige straight gauge frame is nice, but a tad weighty if your use to 20 pounds and under...this will hurt your chances of finishing 1st place in the tour de france and at the velodrome. Plugs are known to be durable so that is an advantage if you commute, freestyle, and are kind of rough with your bike, lighter steel dents easy. I do 20ish to 30ish miles on mine regularly and no issues so far, and the bars and brake hoods are comfortable for long rides.
