  1. I just ordered a 9sp chain for $9.16, shipped, from Nashbar:

    http://www.nashbar.com/results.cfm?category=76&subcategory=1099&storetype=&init=y&pagename=

    It's product #NS-CN9. Free shipping today until midnight, code SHP510.
    When you click to the individual product page and shopping cart, it lists
    the price as $14.99, but I called and got the $8.45 price.

    I've been using this same model chain for about a year. It's been as good
    as any other. Some older KMC chains were absolute [censored], but these days
    they're great.

    The 8sp one on my MTB has been great too. In fact it's half of a tandem
    chain that I bought for under $10.

    Stock up while you can, it's worth it -- unless the tandem ones come on
    sale again!

    How did you know to ask for that lower price? Was it in a catalog or
    something?

    You obviously work for KMC (as a pin pounder?)! LOL

    When they change prices on an item, it first shows up on the product
    description page- the category page with all the other chains can take a day
    sometimes to update. Some stupid old school scripting program they run on
    that side of the office.
    Call Customer Service, they will match it.

    I don't get it. I see the 14.99 price in both places, and she did
    too, and refused to change it.

    It's possible that the price was in the process of going up, not down,
    when the OP came across the item. Thus, when Nashbar finished the
    change, it was $14.99, not $9.99.

    Bear in mind that Nashbar uses price to adjust inventory levels. When
    they sold off enough of those chains @ $9.99, the price reverted to
    $14.99.

    Ooops! Meant $8.45, not $9.99
