NVWOCI WVS Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 if you land on your chain alot then theyre worth it because theyre tough...thetre designed to withstand being ground on by bmx'sbut...the downside is they stretch more quickly and have a lower breaking strain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Clark Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 Gotta be careful with chain tools too. The Shadow Conspiracy one doesnt fit in my £35 Park Tool one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mettam1988 Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 so long as u buy the more expensive ones like the shadow conspiracy one then they are fine. the cheap 9.99 half link chains tend to be pretty poo in my experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Bleech Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 my shadow conspiracy version 1 was crap, like an elastric band... the version 2 is meant to be a lot better though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 they are fine ive been running a shadow conspiracy v2 half link chain for years no problems at allThey haven't been out that long have they? Anyhow my shadow v1 fell apart. All the pins like to be vibrate out. But if you didn't know KHE have their own version now so maybe worth a look? For those who didn't know they make the collapse chain.Personally i think the half link chains look a bit rancid as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
