JT! Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 No one's going to really suggest a half link chain for trials, mainly becuase they stretch sooo much. Plus most of them are pretty weak. Why do you need a half link chain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroMatt Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 A kmc kool with a half link if needed will do the job, no need for rubbish half link chains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 Have used KMC Kool's for the past 7 or 8 years and never had one snapped (replaced every 6 months max) but have just gone to the Trialtech Lite to try... Either would be a good choice . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 KMC Z610, I'm truely amazed with mine, it's worn better than any other chain I've ever had, it hasn't rusted at all even in the rain, and it is the lightest chain available! (Unless you go for scary roadie/xc chains). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley-Wood Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Im very impressed with the trialtech lite chain.trialtech lite chain is poo, snapped mine so many times now, i just cba to buy a new one.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 trialtech lite chain is poo, snapped mine so many times now, i just cba to buy a new one..If one link has snapped then they're all gonna snap pretty soon, they've all had the same stress on them... Of course its going to snap over and over again And can't be arsed to buy a new chain?! I spose it isn't exactly an important part of a trials bike. Anyways, I've had 2 KMC 610HX chains, both have been great. My spare one arrived today, too. Definately reccomend them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
