fifty pence Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 kmc kool they are wicked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMunn Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 KMC Kool chain would be the most popular out at the moment I think, but the new shadow conspirisy chain look's good, and is stronger than the kmc. You could go with some super huge fat bmx chain if you can get it round your cog's and have the clearance on your chainring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartridge Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Another option. 12% stronger than KMC Kool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pock3t Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Kmc kool, they are strong as :- pock3t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tartridge Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Its a KHE Collapse chain. Only available in 1/8" (single speed) width. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Bleech Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Its a KHE Collapse chain. Only available in 1/8" (single speed) width. ← I saw these while browsing alansbmx or customriders one day, I would have gone for one, but i really wanted to try the shadow conspiracy chain, which could be the greatest chain in the world (if its not crap :) ) probably will get one if the interlock is pants, they look good! mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smo™ Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Its a KHE Collapse chain. Only available in 1/8" (single speed) width. ← Would that be the chain that Chris had to bend, file-down, grind and cut off parts of his mech/bash to fit? If so it's one hell of a pain in the arse to fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartridge Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Quite possibly! You have to do the same for all 1/8" chains though. The simple option is to use longer bolts, and space your rear mech out a little... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Drewery Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Defo KMC kool, but i'd go for the 8 speed version as it has the same breaking load but you dont have to space out your mech... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mavic Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Rollof but these are exspensive so if you got the money get one but if not then kmc. :) . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 I run a KMC and it's fine. If you want to run a BMX BOG chain (3/32") then you'll need new sprocket/freewheel with the right pitch tooth etc. Guy I rode with didn't and wore the lot out in very short space of time As for cutting/grinding/bending - Cut up rear mech, angle grinder on singlespeed tensioner and then some for me! :)" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 KMC 3/32". Best bet. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
