eskimo Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 (edited) I went for a ride in the dark and the wet found a new nice gap and bam my chain snaps. Ooow my knee.I'm running a Echo external bb and a profile. The alignment is off and the chain would click slightly because of this. There wasn't really any catching or serious problems but i wonder did my chain snap because of the alignment? I fogot to say it's on a mod. If you hadn't already guessed.I guess it's going to be a KHE collapse now, stolen off the bmx. Although i was thinking maybe a big fat moto chain. I saw one guy running one. It looks alright and damn it ain't going to snap, well it shouldn't. But then again my chain shouldn't of!I leave you guessing to what i was running. £25 it cost me. Heat treated as well.Maybe i should get some pics tommoro. Edited December 12, 2006 by eskimo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish-Finger-er Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 nooo idea what u wer running, but when i was 15(i think) went out on a ride with lankeman and rich rewden on my handsome dog, snapped me chain 3 or 4 times that night, not puttin stress on it, just riding along. was because i was using a gear too far out of line(22t-11 in this case), few days later moved my adjuster in, so it wouldnt go below 22t-14, never broke the chain again(and it was the same chain i used throughout the hole saga) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basher Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 If you had a split link in it that was more likely why it snapped and i ran a khe chain on my profile no problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted December 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 If you had a split link in it that was more likely why it snapped and i ran a khe chain on my profile no problems I don't do split links. They are asking for disaster even on a bmx.It because of the Echo external bb i'm having the aligment problem. The khe feels gastly on the Profile with the alignment out.
