relevance in the last post?? sorry but that last response has me wondering what all of that had to do with how much a chain costs??

NOW, for how much it costs. It sounds like they replaced it with a dura ace chain, or many the next step down. Add in 5-10 $ labor and your at 59.00.

Did they tell you what they replaced it with?
We use mostly sram in the shop because they are easier to work with, run great, and tend to be cheaper than shimano.

I'd call and ask what they put on. If it wasn't da or equiv. then they ripped you off. Otherwise, it's good.
