Dman Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 (edited) New build time and I'm looking for a chain, it's got to be black and not just painted so it all comes off, my last 2 chains, that I highly recommend have been BSD Forever chains, they look like kmc but with a nicer finish in black and the pins just look way stronger, barely stretched on bed in and not had to tighten in months. Whilst looking at other options I came across this, on looks, it's a winner but I'm not sure of the linkage.

ooo Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 odyssey make well nice gear. I'd trust that chain, they reckon its stronger than a normal chain, but I guess theres one way to find out. But if i understand correctly you have to use the master link, you can't reinsert any of the riveted pins with a chain tool ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dman Posted January 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 (edited) That's what I understand. I can have run split links in kmc's for ages with no problems, must be as strong? Edited January 9, 2016 by Dman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff costello Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 i had a cvlt chain for a while that worked fine and was cheap and black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I have used the odyssey chains (Bluebird) for years which is a KMC 510HX in black, I'm sure if odyssey replaced that they will have made it way better and that is a decent chain for trials already. But to be fair i haven't seen the price of the key chain.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dman Posted January 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 I think the cult chains are kmc rebranded. I didn't look at the price, now I have I won't bother just shy of £40. Look really cool but not worth that. Stick with the bsd I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Topics along these lines would concern me about the Keychain: http://www.bikeguide.org/forum/index.php/topic,220695.0.html As with pretty much any new Odyssey/G-Sport products it sort of seems like you're better off waiting for the 'V2' to come out. If the BSD chain worked for you, it's probably worth sticking with! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) No problems with my kmc 610? In black. Don't notice it stretching, lasts forever, cheap as dirt, never snaps and goes together with anormal chain tool ..?

Dman Posted January 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 I know I just like things that look cool and nobody's got. Too expensive anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
