which is lighter half link chain or full link ?

(1/6) > >>

Peter J:
Apart from the "adjustment" factor is there any mechanical benefits ?

Jaymz:
Half links weigh more I believe. I use both, and and one BMX I've got a single half link on a normal chain so the wheel sits just right in the dropouts

kev-s:
depends on the make of chain as the weights differ from company to company

personally weight/strength isnt something you want to compromise on when it comes to chains,  the only half link i trust is the shadow v2 chain, i had no probs with my old one and my friend abused his with no probs too

i now run a kmc k710 cool chain again not the lightest but strong and reliable (a shadow v2 chain pins runs too close to the hub shell on my gsport ratchet hub hence me using the kmc k710 chain)

After having a chain break at the Boardroom and spitting me over the bars, I dont care about chain weight and am using a Cult HD chain.  :daumenhoch:

kev-s:
oh the shadow v2 half link weighs 450g and the kmc k710 weighs 450g too :daumenhoch:
