    1. they are any good
    2. its been in its packet/wrapping for a few years, so will it still be useable? i know chains aren't the most expensive thing but seen lots of story's about did at the moment and my last one frayed too so looking at different brands
    cheers

    Certainly no worse than DiD chains, tsubaki are supposed to be the best chains

    If it's in grease and not corroded in anyway should be fine! Besides how do you know how long a chain has sat on the shelf in some shops/eBay etc?

    As long as it's 530 pitch and right amount of links it should be fine!
