CC12345678910 Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 You could broaden your search by looking for pro collapse. It has drilled pins but it is still a collapse... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This I'm guessing http://www.wiggle.co.uk/wippermann-bmx-1g8-single-speed-chain/ I wouldn't.

Jake. Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) Pretty sure it's 1.5 not 15 tons haha, but the plates on it should make it more resistant to failed sidehops for lefties or awkward righties.

Blake Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 yeah look good, tell me the total width of the chain when you get it. Not sure if it will rub my spokes x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamilyBiker Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) yeah look good, tell me the total width of the chain when you get it. Not sure if it will rub my spokes x it says pin length is 12.4 mm so i´d take this as the total width Edited June 18, 2013 by FamilyBiker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FamilyBiker Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 yeah but isnt the pin positioned horizontally in the chain and sticks out over the plates a bit,being the widest point of a chain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
