Then you don't need a chain!

That was tacky CC.
You get what you pay for, but the price range sounds average. Ensure the chain is an O ring , X ring etc.
I believe my last chain was about $75, I wouldn't go any cheaper.

I've been using RK. I got this one, and I just noticed the priced dropped significantly. As long as you stick with a reputable brand you should be good. DID or RK is common.
