padarik Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 hi everyone i seem to have trouble with snapping chains.i have snapped a kmc 3 times now in the space of a month.i lubricated them and made sure all the links were tight enough but they still snapped very promptly. does anyone run a chain other than sram or kmc that is of a high standard and doesnt snap really easy. i am starting to worry for my well being! thanks, max...stop being a fatty .........maybe................ go on tarty and see witch has the highest braking load and loose weight cheeers padarik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry mate!dont worry i was also woried about the clearance of the chain against my burn bashring and i really would have to slam some spacers on the chainring bolts to allow the chain to fit...only just fits a kmc narrow.ill have to sort it max....

Abdab. Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Ive also snapped 3 Kmc chains in the space of 3 months...So one every month.I snapped one because I greased it up to lubricate it so it would run smoother and nicer. But I found that grit got onto the chain and stayed on it and it wore away at the links causing it to snap....So now I just leave my chains and nothings happened to my 4th one for over 2 months now.Also chains do weaken by been ridin in the rain because it causes them to rust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 I run a standard heat treated. Supposedly stronger than the moto bike style chains. £25 and not as heavy as the moto ones.There not on the standard website. Might not be in production anymore. Some places still have them though.
