Blair d Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Is a monty ti chain good? because i was thinking about getting one but i thought i`d best see if they were good. But i don`t think that they would put a sh*ty chain on a ti. Just want to check if it is a good chain. So please leave a comment because i a going to order a chain tomorrow!Cheers Blair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR28 Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 The Monty '221 ti' chains are basic XC chains (to save weight), no stronger than any other.We do have KMC Kool chains in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mods Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 On the subject of chains, has anybody used the viz superlight chain?.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsy Ben Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Problem is, that you'd consider a Ti chain to take alot of pressure, which it may do so but 9 times out of 10 the split link cant. And sometimes with fancy chains (shimano ti' one for example) you cant actually run them without the split link, defeating the point of having a chain that can take some stupid pressure of 50,000newtons or whatever. Personally i'd stick with KHE / KMC and run them without split links, or even better in my eyes, get a Shadow Conspiracy "half link" jobby Brilliant chain, being a "half link" chain you can gain nice tension without going mad with your snail cams / chain tugs and have you rear brake setup nice a square too (seems to be a common problem these days?!)

GTF Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 On the subject of chains, has anybody used the viz superlight chain?..I have used one. Snapped as f*** Mabye I just was unlucky with mine, but I wont use one again. Found a cheap chain in the local sport store that is better Will never use anything else.

David20 Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Blair, its as easy as this:1. Ask your mum for a lift to halfords.2. Go in.3. Buy a KMC.4. Come home.5. Fit it.6. Ride.What puzzle's me is why you didn't do that in the first place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Yeah, get a KHE. Mine is soon going to enter it's 21st month of use, hasn't snapped once. I'm actually going to dip it in champagne for our 2nd anniversary. The Ti is essentially a Connex or a high end SRAM chain, neither of the two are strong.
