Mark W Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Get a single link from one of these bad-boys, and all your problems will be solved.**Temporarily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lankyri Posted February 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 take it these are not as strong as the normal chains Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVWOCI WVS Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 No, but they stretch...a lot! I run one with my KMC to get the right length, but i have to replace it every few weeks because you end up with one link which doesnt mesh...i could send you a few spare halflinks if you send me a SAE?

Mark W Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 snipFixie News Update #23: It was the forks, not the headset that was the problem. Still need to buy some. In related news: Risers - all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 *Temporarily.True. I borrowed one ( ) out of my freinds spare links, and then it snapped a while later.My chain's been snapping a lot recently.. it's pretty old, and made up of around 3 different KMC Kool's and some half links... Might replace it soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lankyri Posted February 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 im gonna swap rear sprockets from a 14 to a 16 making it 16-16 lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 I thought you had a 15 on, not a 14? Seriously, I'd rather run a half-link than 1:1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lankyri Posted February 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 just checked again deffo runnin a 16-14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 You may wanna go to 16:15 then, 'cos if you go to 16:16 you're taking out 2 teeth, which is the equivalent of a whole link, so you'd still be rogered. If you go up to a 15 though, that's 1 tooth which is the equivalent of half a link.But yeah, maybe just get ahold of some half-links from Sam first?
