Quote:
imho, chain life is directly related to riding style all other things being equal. The manufacturer also is a valid consideration, yet not as strong a determinate as riding style. Perhaps a poll looking at tire life vis-a-vis chain life would show that correlation.  
Yes. Also pairing new chains with used sprockets could promote premature wear. However if we get enough participants in the poll it should average out the various riding styles and other factors giving a general indication of the lifetime of one brand versus another.
So while an individual experience of a particular brand will be strongly influenced by their riding style etc, it will serve as a guide to which chain brand/s should last longer.
