bikerboy16 Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 how come you got so many stiff links do you use a chain tool alot on it or somethink cause you have to use the other bit of the chain tool to loosen up the links Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtpchris Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 Hey,I run a KHE Collapse Pro chain. It is probably the best chain i have had so far. I have had it for about 4 months, and seems totally reliable. Feels strong and it rarely has a stiff link (i havn't had one yet!)Take a look below:Check iTChris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 If you've got stiff links try loosening them a little... stick 2 allen keys in the slots of your chain intended for chainring/sprocket teeth to go into and give it a little twist. This will widen the area that was compressed when the chain was re-attached using a tool.If not the shadow chains are hefty things and should be fine for you though many people whinge about them stretching but i wouldn't be bothered if i was you. You might want to consider something a little cheaper though like the KHE recommended above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watto Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 (edited) The shadow chain should be great for trials on the paper side of things as its made entirely of whats called 'half links' this increases the chains breaking amount which is measures in nuetons (sp..)Also it would be more suited to the gear ratios we run in ,these in bmx called 'micro gearing' .

Swize Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Only problem with the shadow chain is they stretch really easy .I say stick with either KHE or KMC.Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggins15 Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 KHE are great if you dont mind the fact that they are a lott heavier than the KMC's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
