Motorbike Chain On A Trials Bike... Hmm.

It would be really heavy, and the distance between the links would be probably to long to fit on a bike trial sprocket. And yeh as jake1516 said, i would imagine it would be way to wide to fit in with out like hitting your frame or like front bashguard or something.

BMXers used to use moped and scooter chains on their bikes, so it may work, it'll just feel dog-turd. Just join a normal chain properly :P

have to agree there. I had one of the monster motorbike sized gusset chains on my bmx for a while, it was good and solid and seemed to work fine but when I switched to a shadow v2 (for clearance purposes) the drivetrain felt a lot freer (free-er ? how the hell do you spell that?). I guess it's because there's just a lot less metal to move around.

I think you'd notice the difference more on a trials bike cos of all the pedalhopping and stuff so maybe best avoided.
