Brettoll Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Thinking of buying a Gusset Slink chain as im horrendously superficial and it comes in purple which will suit my bike. Anyone used/using one for trials? Any opinions/thoughts? Cheers Brett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Brett Never run a half link. especially for trials, there actual shite. my one snapped about 5 times after that i just bought a 'normal' kmc one. Edit: and that wasnt even on a trials bike. hate to think how long (or short) they'd last for on one Edited January 30, 2011 by dirt jumper jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brettoll Posted January 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Thanks for all the responses everyone. My mates bought one for his Echo so I will see how he fares and stick to my Kool chain for now and stop being such a tart and wanting to buy everything purple for my bike. Cheers, Brett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Brett ive always ran halflinks with no issues, latest is a blingy tank and its sweet, only time i snaped a chain was a kmc cool type. a friend of mines pretty good on trials and runs a tank chain for a year, no issues. maybe its bad luck with them?

sstein Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 I used to run a full half link chain but they have problems that they go very stiff very quickly, however I still run a single half link in my chains and i never have any problems. Just so you are aware though they are significantly weaker than normal chains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey1991 Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 One halflink is OK, lots are not! Gussets seem to be the best of a bad bunch though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omgnoseat Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 I've been running a shadow conspiracy chain for more than a year and it's in horrible condition, very rusted. Never snapped or had any problems though ! Comes in a lot colours aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
