they are called magic links because of the ease of use for more normal riding. like road and xc. u can split the chain whenever and clean it properly. but they are week and not suited to trials
You found out the hard way too! The sram chains are seriously strong, but dont ever use the power link! ever just use a chain tool to do a proper join, put some tip ex or paint on your join to keep an eye on it.
It was a realy good day. Kinda left without saying thanks,,,,,so thanks to dj's mum and dad for organising it! The memorial was very nice. Only realised it was a wheel when TIC pointed it out. Was feeling a bit ill Ps Who is the guy with the subara wrx that ben rowlands was with? if anyone knows? I wanna know what gear he was in when he blew us away on the A34
this topic is a load of " gash " as usual pads pull the the f@@king brake harder? we have an amazing amount of pads to choose from now,,,,,,,its silly. boring!
James Im with You on your plite to get trials recognized. Road cycling has big sponsorship in Europe due to the sheer amount of people that ride road. The amount of people that ride Trials compared to Road is tiny. Its also an age thing, kinda like golf. There are 50/60 something roadies out there still spending their wads of cash on very expensive bikes. Thats how come the road companies can afford to support events like the Giro. Just my thoughts. Dave. Roadie for last 8 years.
It'll still feel the same, but 30mm longer. stay with it, they are harder to ride trials moves on than uci bikes. But they are the best allround size for the "shorter" rider in my opinion. 6 ft is pushing it.??
