VAMPIRE V12 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Hi guys. I'm looking for a new chain as my Zoots chain snapped on sunday, also my other bikes chain snapped (KMC K810) so i am wondering whats the best chain and toughest chain to run on a trials bike? I was looking at a Gusset Tank chain from tartybikes.com but are they any good or are they too wide? preferably a chain with a split link so its stronger than a missing link. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azarathal Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 z610x, either the KMC or the Trialtech will do fine, the only difference between the two is the Trialtech costs more for the same thing and you get a Trialtech sticker to go with it.

AndrewEH1 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Z610 HX If you want split link go with that, unless they have moved to missing link in the past 6 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cai Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 As said above; its got to be the Z610 HX 3/32". My advice is to 'put the pin back through' on the chain using a chain tool instead of using a split link. Over the years I've only ever snapped chains at the split link, I've never snapped one when it's had the pin back through.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-0 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Id say your in a minority then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Gussets are big, strong and heavy. Prone to stiff links and hard to shorten/ reatatch. Z610hx is brill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
