Ali C Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 after snapping my chain on a 1ft drop and hitting my bollox on my stem which led to several hospital visits, I am one of those people who change a chain every 3 months or so!

stunt man t Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 i think the onza kool chain is just a kmc k710 koolchain reboxedim sure ill be corrected if im wrong i just bought a Trialtech Lite Z610 HX, 3/32'' from tartybikes todayfirst different chain ive used so ill see how they compare Only because it says it on every chain on tarty.i said ive heard of people saying it but there must be a reason tarty say that?chains have to put up with alot of abuse in trials ridingso you need it to be reliable dont you?or the same thing will happen to you like it did to ali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 after snapping my chain on a 1ft drop and hitting my bollox on my stem which led to several hospital visits, I am one of those people who change a chain every 3 months or so! Its worth it in my eyes.My chain on my trials bike is just over a year old and the chain on my jump bike is nearly 3 The jump one took a grinder to split it though, so its pretty good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigamac Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Well i guess tarty may say it because of chain stretch, I guess in turn it may become weaker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
