Alastair Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 (edited) You cant go wrong with KMC generally, because they are predominantly made for BMX's they are very tough, and if tightened, and the pins in tightly then you will never go wrong, are you sure that you are putting the pins in fully, or you should check for stiff links. The mistake i made with my old shimano chain was to never tighten it (pins i mean), it snapped like 3 times, cos i never put the pin in properly, but hey "you learn from your mistakes".Al Edited April 16, 2006 by Alastair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickyb Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 Was it a kmc cool chain you snapped? If it was then maybe you had a weak link in it and thats how it snapped i've not had a kmc snap on me . . . .touch wood.ricky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossman Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 Yeah, go for the khe, my brother snapped his kmc and fell badly. But he has a khe now and still going strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Beck Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 make sure your not using the split link as thats usually the problem as they let the chain down being the weak link in the chain cheers lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munkee Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 KHE for sure is as good as it gets at the moment. But not required if your a light rider, its pretty much over kill for 90% of people. But then again its your own safety you have to think about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clawz114 Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 i have a KHE and they are so nice, get a black one they look the business and i have had no problems with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 if not get a rohloff trials chain this thing is mint!Linkypoo's?make sure your not using the split link as thats usually the problem as they let the chain down being the weak link in the chainActually it's the other way round. Taking a pin out and putting it back in weakens the chain, but by using that link thingy stop that from happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie Y Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 is it a kmc kool chain, you cant go wrong with them normally, all the people i ride with use them and there all fine, they are a bmx chain and your mech/tensioner might need some modification unless you ride a mod then theres no problem just wack it on and go. cheers mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
