JT! Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 I would have choosed the new lightweight Kmc kool,only 385g. http://www.onza.com/site_files_flash/spare..._kool_flash.htm You'll save more weight pulling a skid. Plus they'll be alot weaker, which isn't good when you doing a gap and it snaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanRs Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 (edited) Theres some things on my bike that i feel shuld be as strong as possible reguardless of weight (to an extent) i use a KMC kool, and if i went to a different chain now , prehaps a lighter one, it would probally hold me bak in my riding quite badly, as in the back of my mind, i will be thinking its not gona last the next move! landing a rail on your brestbone or head first (even with a helmet) hurts something silly and the shock scares you a lot! if i ever get probs with my KMC, ill get a BMX motorbike style chain!

Mark W Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 if i ever get probs with my KMC, ill get a KHE Collapse Pro chain, which is rated as being fairly substantially stronger than KMC Kool chains, and also not particularly heavier, looks cool as shit, can easily deal wiht 12t sprockets (Can do 9t (N)) and so on Good call (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
