nek0 Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 KMC K710/K810 is 1,300kgf and if you really want something beefier, go with Wipperman 1G8 for nearly 1,500kgf with the straight plates. They're pricey but if you're breaking KMC's than you either need to consider something stronger or change your riding style (unless you truly have massive horse legs ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroMatt Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Found wippermans to snap much faster than a KMC K710. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sstein Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Halfords BMX chain. £5.99 i think. £6.99 and the best chain that I have ever used. KMC are good but a bit pricey in comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob L Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 KHE Collapse because there super strong and will not snap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James 24/7 trials Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Hi, Tibbs cycles in canterbury do a heat treated half link, the man said that if it breaks he will buy a new one for me.So i recomend going there or phoning them up, say that it is going to be used for trials and you need a strong one and they will know which one it is, the chain is £35.Regards James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Echo TR's are apparently really good, one of my rider's TR lasted him much longer than the K810 chain. I used to run one Collapse chain for around 2,5 years, didn't snap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials ryan Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 KMC's are good chains never snap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaze_ Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 If you are looking for strength and don't care about weight, you should definitely go with a Collapse. I snapped two KMCs so far, and the second one was going to be fatal...I was quite lucky that day. But if you change them regularly (3-4 months) I don't think you will have any problems.

weirdoku Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Get a collapse and you won't be thinking about a snapped chain for a loooong time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossMcd Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 £6.99 and the best chain that I have ever used. KMC are good but a bit pricey in comparison.Yeah I completely agree! And they last longer too! I have had KMC kool chains snap on my within weeks and the halfords chain I have no problems with until they are about 6 months old! For the price they are well worth it!
