goanywhere Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 I'm getting sick of chains snapping on me and know nothing about what type of chains you can and shouldn't use for trials, so was wondering what the best/strongest one you can buy. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Good chain for 99% of riders: Z610HX. If you want something that is daft but won't break: Gusset Tank Chain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goanywhere Posted March 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 I think I'll get the tank chain, looks the strongest so I'll never be breaking it or replacing it. Price ain't bad and what is that nice looking chain called? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalopS Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 I was using a z610hx and it snapped twice in one week I bought a gusset one today so can't really comment on the gusset one Maybe it's the way your joining it? I can't even remember the last time I changed my z610x chain. It was before Tartydays because I've still got the free one they gave in the goodie bag. I should probably put it on soon now I've jinxed it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The link bent the first time and I tried fixing the link and it broke like 2miles of riding .... I will be honest they are good and I would use one again as I. Only got the half link one because it was the only one tredz had at the time and I was in a rush as I was on way to a group ride.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 YBN chain is the same as gusset tank but doesn't say gusset on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 I've been running a Kool for the best part of half a year and I don't right lightly. Everyone recommends against them though. A gusset tank or a wipperman for strength or z610 is the most common for weight to strength ratio and people tend to favor them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dezmtber Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Those tank chains and hx610 chains will fit the bill. i use a kmc710 sl but i must say i visialy check each link before each ride and if there are any marks i replace the chain, sounds expencive but i still only replace it every 2-4 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goanywhere Posted March 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 YBN chain is the same as gusset tank but doesn't say gusset on it Thanks you just reminded me about ybn, I think they do mini Moto bike chains just small enough for trials, I know someone who has ran the same chain for around 13 years and still going strong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
