callumbreakwell85 Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...p;category_id=7Don't think I've had one snap on me before.Edit: There on order though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sayshell Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 (edited) get a kmc z50hx or the z610hx the 510 is better. They are the same chain the 610hx is thinner. Out of every chain I have used it stretches the least and it never breaks and comes in many colours. You can buy them at pretty much any bmx shop or off tarty bikes. From using every chain ever made I would say it has the best strength/weight ratiothe only thing that is comparible in strength are chains like khe collaspe which are way way way heavier.

Snapped kool chains like peanuts, afterwards used z510 for like a year. Didn't have any problems, just changed to a new one to be on a safe side.

gu trials Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 KHE anyday, quite heavy and a little deer but you will never snap them, i have had abot 4 now and the only reason i changed them is because they streched to much, they are the best chains in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT! Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Trialtech Lite from Tartybikes.co.ukHow come no one would ever go near a chain like that until 'trialtech' is stuck in front of it? Or am i missing something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or am i missing something.Thicker plates than a standard chain that looks the same. Pretty much the same as a Kool, just look like a normal chain.

onzatrip Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 acually trialtech had prototypes of that chian as bessel ran the proto and was snap happy so its not just a marketing thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Trials Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 You should replace your chain 2-3 times a year, depending on riding conditions and frequency of use. The Z510 gives the best return for cost/weight/strength. Plus you get them in colours now too so you can have a different colour every few months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
