CC12345678910 Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 I'm having problems with chain length. (shorten it and it's too short, leave it & it's too long) and it means I can't set up the brake properly and seeing i put in some new pads last night it's more of a problem than it sounds. Then I remembered about a half link chain MBUK reviewed a while back but can't remember what issue or what it's called. anyone know? where do I get one from?

poopipe Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 beautifully putmy experience..my shadow v2 stretched almost the length of a halflink within a fortnight on 25-9 gearing. it hardly stretched at all when I ran 30-11I've had it the best part of a year, I don't like it cos it's heavy, fat and drags a lot. It hasn't broken though so I can't complain on that front. the 4 jeri and other ripoff versions are a lot cheaper and probably not much weaker - theyll still stretch though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
