Ben John-Hynes Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 KHE chains get stiff links really easily. What chain did you break? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT! Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 (edited) The KHE collapse is a good chain, i use one, but you do need a slightly wider chain tool to remove the links. Edited May 25, 2009 by JT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Nichols Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Kmc kool gets my vote, I've only ever had a chain snap once while riding trials (It was a Sram! ), you should really replace your chain on a regular basis though.. no front teeth is not a good look!

Jack Morton Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 the echo sl half link chain is amazing ive heard Nope there good for the first 3 - 4 week's then start snapping. At least twice a week if not more. KMC Kool has my vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_Trials Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 (edited) the khe are hard to get the links out but you can do it by using a standard chain tool, if you want to you can snap the little knoches on your chain tool but your chain is still quite hard to do because you have to make sure your chain is in the right place (left to right)or you can put it in the vice and hit it with a screwdriver Edited May 25, 2009 by Jamie_Trials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
