Borat Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Dad got me a new one whilst out today. I am curious on how good strengwise they are? Are they prone to snapping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiuSliS Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Been running this model chains for over a year now. Never snapped on me. I'd say it's win, don't know what others will say though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 If you snap it quickly you'll know it's shit. If you don't snap it for a while, it's good. Simples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borat Posted April 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Thanks guys! Any more expirience with the chain, before I go rape my knees? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 If you snap it quickly you'll know it's shit. If you don't snap it for a while, it's good. Simples. Unless you're shit at joining chains, I guess. I've only broken one 510HX in about 3 years of using them on my BMX, and that was due to wanky chainline and 23:9 gearing. They're basically a wider Lite chain so they should be pretty sweet I'd recommend one over Collapse chains at any rate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My collapse stretched within a month of riding, so all the frames it's been on, then brake setup has been wank. Cheers Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Several of my links decided to splay when i used on the trials bike after a very short time. Then eventually fell apart. Was good on the bmx though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 I use one on my 24" at the moment and managed to snap one after about 5 months on my 26", but thats more my fault as i tend to replace any chain after 3-4 months on the 26". Got nothing bad to say against them, cheap, cheerful and seem plenty strong enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Links don't usually just splay apart at random, typically (unless it's where it's been joined, but you'd have obviously had to have done that 'several' times). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
