Mixing chains

[KGB]

So I have 100 links of D I D brand 530 chain.
I also have 10 or so links of Regina 530 chain.


I need 108 links...........so can I "Add" 8 links of Regina to a D I D
chain? Or am I asking for trouble down the road ?

I need a chain for my Triumph, I ask here because I respect the
actual technical answers here, not "opinions" I get over there.

I "think" you will be fine. The distance between pins and the roller diameter is going to be the same between brands. You might want to measure the overall width between the two brands though to make sure everything measures the same before trying to join the pieces.

The only thing I can think of is one might stretch more than the other over time, but this would be the same "time" as it takes to wear out and stretch a chain anyways, since I assume you change your chain regularly, Mr. Safety!

I got almost 20K out of this one.

The Triumph like to run at 5Krpm=90mph+.........

It has a kink in it .
I used Maxima chain wax for the last 10K on it.
I understand the stock Triumph chain is not a "high end" chain.
