lil pads Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 My chain snapped to day and I was wondering which chain would be best. At the moment I have a trialtech lite chain should I get it agian or should I change it? If you know any good chains prefrably a heavy duty one please leave a comment with a link so I can have a look.Thanks John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gu trials Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 KHE collapse on tarty, £15 they are really good chains and very strong, i have had 3 of them and the only reason is because they stretched but really strong and shouldnt snap.

sstein Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Taya chrome bmx chains (£6.99 from halfords). My last one lasted for 8 months in which I went through three hubs, the only reason I changed it in the end was there was a leak in my garage and it got a little surface rust, so I thought best to change it!

I have snapped a half link chain and a few kmc kool chains but this is holding up good so far May get one for my stock when its built Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 My 510HX couldn't handle trials. Several of the mushroom pins decided to allow the links to splay away. That was brand new with one break/ join over a month of riding. I like my Collapse. Many are happy with the Kool chain though which is available in 1/8" bmx, 3/32" race/mtb & 3/16" motobike style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headley Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 I'd go for a KHE although they do have a tendancy to develop stiff links but just keep it oiled and you shouldn't have any problems. This would be the ultimate heavy duty chain though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmks88 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 KMC kool is good, lasts for 2-3months for methat Z510 held up just a few weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomN Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 My KHE collapse is lasting very well it's about 2-3 years old however it probs had 1 year full-on riding and now 2 years of on and off riding. It's worth getting a quality chain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgzGU! Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 I have a gusset tank chain it is heavy duty and only £10 but mine has a few stiff links. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil H Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 KHE Collapse is the only chain to have. KMC's are not the way forward. People talk about stiff links in KHE but it's only occasional and doesn't break your shins/face/back/body like regularly snapping KMC does.Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
