kristov Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 one of these chains http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/category.php?id=7 is fine they are stronger than normal mountain bike chains Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I (HEART) Trials Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 I use a KMC Kool chain they are very strong and only cost around 12 poundby the way if you get a new chain DONT use a split link ! trust me i know from experience !

Phil H Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 KHE Collapse chain is all I'd use now. KMCs are very popular but I go for the KHE because I can trust it 100%, however the KHE weighs abit more.Both chains are available at www.tartybikes.co.ukWhatever you do don't go to your local bikeshop and pick any old random one up. I went for a half link a while back - big mistake...... Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyklist Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 (edited) I run a KMC Kool SL and I really like it.Strong enough but it's still quite light thanks to the hollow pins and sideplates. Sure, if you're not that interested in saving some weight you might just as well go with the regular KMC Kool chain and save yourself a few quids.

Krisboats Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 I use a KHE myself, though the KMC's (kool k710) are a little lighter and still quite good. Me and patt are under the conclusion though that for some reason, the entirely silver ones are stronger then the silver-black-silver-black ones.

Alex Dark Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Ive used a kmc kool chain and have been very impressed with it over the past year.....strong, doesnt stretch much and not that much of a weight penalty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
