paul@rettotrials Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Firstly i have looked in the search, But can not find what I'm looking for. So chain has snapped two times today, And don't trust it now, So what chain is best to run on a front free wheel. I got t-pro with try-all FW and 12 tooth cog on back. thanks Paul.

tom 20 Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 I was thinking some thing like this or this or this.I would of thought you will be better of with the thicker KMC chain (k710) as its designed for singlespeed whereas the others are designed (mainly) for gears as in 6speed etc.Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Bleech Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 I was thinking some thing like this or this or thisThey are all the same, except one is bmx width (1/8") and the other two mtb (3/32") width go for the cheapest good chains too.

BrickTop Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 KMC Kool 810 :^) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 There's only 2 chains out there that i would be happy riding with.KHE collapse and...KMC cool, i'd go for the 1/8" becuase some cogs are too fat for the thinner one, however the thinner one might solve your rubbing problem. Both KMC cool sises are the same strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antilope trials Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 i use a interlock shadow chain and that has shown no proof of snaping yet im verry pleased with it, and id advise more people to get thes as they verry strong, £25 yes exspencive but its better in the long run as it will last 3 times as long so you work it out, kmc kool chain £15 times that by 3, Ant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
