AdamR28 Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Ah, that's the drilled version... which is obviously much weaker than the standard one for the fact that it has holes through it! Best to avoid... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krisboats Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 (edited) I'll get the KHE Collapse is this stronger? So adam want your chain back hehehe Yep, sure is. The standard KMC's are better than that drilled one too though.With regards to has it happened with my chain before, sure has... many times. Done the exact same thing to a standard KMC kool and done it a couple of times to a KHE collapse as well.

Dang! Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 How long had you been riding with this chain before it snapped? It looks kinda beat and needing of replacement.I've found the Shadow V2 to be a monster of a chain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpson Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Seems there are alot of broken chains out there, just never happen to me when hoping a gap just went ping and i went over lol. Yea.... well it depends how much of a price you put on your face really, if you love it change your chain every 6months, if you face / teeth are worth less than 10quid.... dont bother....All chains will snap eventually.... fact, you can help by not running split links... chains with hole in.... greasing it often? i dunno i dont do bike maintanence! hahaa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
