When purchasing a chain to drag a tire along the road, the first concern is to make sure the chain is long enough to wrap around the tire. Virtually any classic chain will do. At least I thought.
Chain ground down after one session
I wanted to make sure I didn’t have one of those weird twisted chains used on kids swing sets. Those things aren’t really good for anything. And the chain that can hold a 1,000 pounds is way overkill. So there’s no reason to purchase a heavy-duty chain because there’s no way I’m going to pull 280 pounds of load.
That may be true, but.
Maybe I need thicker chain. I’ll try that and see if the physics of the universe changes and the chain survives. At least I know that if I’m chained to something, I can drag it for a half hour to cut it. The chain does get blasting hot, too.
