Bloody Chain

Recommended Posts

On my way to work this morning my bloody chain snapped just as I put the power down. :sick: Next thing I know I'm on the floor with my butties all over the road, traffic everywhere and to cap it all off the bloody bike then came back at me and hit me on the head. :S What a complete and utter fool I felt :$ I guess it looked quite funny to passers buy but sh1t oh dear I was not at all happy. The chain was launched into the forecourt of the nearby Renault garage in anger. :angry:

My question to you lot who are fairly heavy and have a fair bit of power is.... What chain do I put on next and yes it will need to run up and down my 8 working gears.

yeah in all honesty the kmc chains are the best bet, also dont use the quick link, make sure you join the chain using a chain tool.. a wise man once said

" a chain is only as strong as its weakest link"

just to carry on the trend, and the fact is there is no way that youll find a stronger chain for gears (Y)

A narrow KMC kool (K810) will not be any good for an 8spd setup where you need to change gear on the move, i looked into running one on my DMR dirt bike but because of there shape etc they do not shift very well, they are ok for a comp bike where changing gear is only needed to prove that the gears work.

I would go for one of the SRAM chains, PC58 tend to be quite reliable, and if it is for a run around bike should be perfectly fine.

Thats what i would do, whatever you get don't get a K810 if u want to be able to change on the move, under power, as it just wont change smoothly.

Pc58 for the win!

I have used this chain for years , on my road bike / xc bike and on my leeson ( minus "shit link" ).

You think thats bad? I snapped my stem clean in two today gapping. Was complete comedy. :P

Sram pc50 is the way to go on chains in my opinion. Mine has treated me very well. Got it when was using gears, when I converted kept it and has beren reliable as however had a couple of stiff links.

I dont recommend Shimano IG for trials. I got a fair bit of life out this this one but i've never snapped one in this way before.

Shitmano chains suck. Infact the only thing they make that I actualy like is there hydro discs, and some cranks.

Yeah, srams have treated me well on jump and off-road bikes, but I would rather use the KMC for trials, even if it is a bit clunky for changing gear.
