They actually feel and smell different... Stan's gonna stick some on his bike to try

The KMC K810, the 3/32" version, is the one I think you're on about... doesn't shift all that well, but does shift, and a lot stronger than normal chains!

I did A-Levels in 6th form (I was in the last year before it changed to AS and A Levels), then a degree in Sports Technology... If you're thinking of dropping out, I'd probably recommend having a look round to see what else available first - apprenticeship, job, etc. Free education, in my opinion, is one of the best things you can take - I know it's a cliche and it sounds cheesy but your school/college/uni years really are the best.

Mate that was awesome... your riding has progressed so much since the last vid - new techniques, your style, more power... very very impressed How are you liking the new frame?

Yeah, true, however the clips wear out over time and get loose... Anyway, I wouldn't even use one, with a good chain tool/correct installation joining the chain normally is best in my experience I've never broken a chain where the links have pulled apart.

That's funny!

The prob is when you kick though... sooo much more load on the chain when you gap than there is when you set it up. Ah cool, which chain was that? There's a lot of chains that claim really strong split links but I've broken them all Too many pies maybe? Yeah, that should be the case... the clip can still pop off though!

Which is stronger, Red or Blue? Red is like a split link, blue is a normal link (well, a KHE link)... http://www.ison-distribution.com/ison/imag...kmc-unilink.jpg Exactly

It's the shape of the plate that makes a difference. The KHE split links are actually quite good (same shape as the rest of the chain), but the KMC ones are thinner in the centre which makes them more likely to break. The clips can also pop off when they get old, I've seen that a few times.... scary.

Same thing, different name (I'm assuming!?)

ditto. I don't see why you'd use a quick link that's about 10-15% weaker than the rest of the chain... might as well just use a normal MTB chain, save some weight and still risk your teeth.

I'm not gonna be allowed to forget that am I?

Beast, what are Dan and Sam doing over there? Just over for some riding n shiz?

Hang on... that's in Sweden?!

Haha yeah... does it have any nasty diseases in it? Or safe to eat? No worries man, glad you enjoyed it Good to meet some more new peeps! Lol, pretty much... nothing else to do here... Good stuff, any pics/vids? Enjoy it?

Hehe, no worries Got free leftover Chinese for my troubles!! You boys manage to get to Morecambe today? Good ride?

In my opinion (...!!!) that's the best video I've seen of you - it was more like 'clips of a ride, showing it how it was, edited to some music' instead of trying to take it too seriously... riding was smooth and controlled, and the line with the dropgap and then sidehop was cool

Screw on? It's not possible with standard hubs as the thread size is too large for 11T... would work with M30x1 I reckon but never seen one available

I can't remember... it's possible though, haha. I can see how it would work really well, just a lot of effort when you could just whip the grinder out. Might have a play on some old rims this week...

Haha, yeah looking at the results I think I should have been in red... didn't really look at the sections before the start, ah well, maybe next round. Cheers for putting the comp on Dave, all the observers and thanks to everyone who turned up despite the snow. Could have been a lot worse though, at least we got some sun! See you at the next one

I think I know what you mean... hacksaw?

Due in France in around one month, UK some time soon after that. RRP will be around £425. Mega powerful vid, cool

Wellll good, as expected! Some proper big stuff in there... it's unfair how you can get on any bike and look good on it Nice one

Just spoke to Dave Butler, the venue say there is about 1/2 inch of snow there on the grass and some of the rocks but it is melting pretty quickly as it's sunny See you there Ads
