Mark W Posted August 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 Not aaaaalways. Mine did 'cos it was a 1/8 in a 3/32 chain or something... Anyhoo, they've tested it loads according to wherever the f**k I read it in a BMX mag, and it seems to be holding up to be grindedededed on and stuff, so it can't be too bad. Mark.

Dr. Nick Riviera Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 i like that chain loads did anyone see the metal beaded brake cable in ride a few months back £30 garuanteed for life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted August 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 D'you mean the Odyssey one you can barspin with and not foul the cable? Or is this something else? Either way, I'd rather spend £3 every now and again on some Clarks cables than bang down £30 for a friggin' outer... Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackpoolbmxer Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 this is a bmx only chain though i think... but there is a bmx chain better than that... Hard dad products chain, meant to be the strongest bmx chain out :-... but if a chain can last will jackson for a whole year and still going then it has to be super strong !!! i'm thinkin of getting one but i might also get eh shadow conspiracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BONGO Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 owain clegg rides for shadow. he has had one for 9 months. never had a problem. whitton, same deal, and i know a couple of lads with them too. i hate all half links. except these ones. john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butcha87 Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 (edited) I've heard they tend to bugger up on lower gearings on a BMX, ie. 25-9 and work ok on the higher end ones,44-16. This is probs bollocks though because Ali Whitton has the tiniest chainring upfront and so has a pretty low gearing. Edit:Just read the site info,just says they're ok to use with 10 tooth cogs and above! :- Edited August 14, 2004 by butcha87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davetrials Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 will it work with a cassette and middle burns? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartridge Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 will it work with a cassette and middle burns? ← No chance, unless you double space your cassette and space out your chainring/get the back of your bashring machined down. FYI - 1/8" (BMX size) is wider than 3/32" (MTB size), so those will be the same problems for any 1/8" or BMX chain :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted August 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 But if you're using the standard KMC Kool (not the Thin) already, it should be OK I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted August 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 Ah, that'd be me not giving a shit about stock gear-able chains and not bothering to read that thread then :rolleyes: Gently put all the same though Ad :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT! Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 (edited) Ah, thanks for reminding me Mark. Whats the best (strongest) halflink you can buy, and are they worth buying. My wheel sits at the extreams. Half link would be perfect, but i hear they're weak and not woth bothering with. :) Currently running KMC cool 1/8". Chain looks good though, seen something like it on a local BMX'ers bike. Edited July 7, 2005 by JT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted July 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Half-links generally aren't shit hot, but some do seem to work. E-mail www.customriders.com and ask for one, they should sort you out with one pretty cheap :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 these are what HALF LINKS really are every one gets confused they call quick links half links, quick links are the ones that ALWAYS snap :) half links like these are really old and have been around for years back in the day of the surmay archer(spelling?) hubs and old single speed bikes, thinks like your dad would have had when he was a kid :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Does anyone know who stocks the new chains then? i could really do with one due to runninga ronnie on a t-pro, setting the brake is a tad frustrating , i dont want to change rim or gear ratio or use one odd half link so this seems the only sensible option really. Alans looks like the old one and customriders dont have them at all. Cheers Caleb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
