which is lighter half link chain or full link ?

<< < (3/6) > >>

Sid1972:
Half links stretch less, as for strength never snapped a chain yet ???

Have you...  :shocked:

Peter J:
I've never snapped one either Sid as I don't ride hard

My problem is "mass"  :shocked:

I was looking at different chains and I'm not a new school teckie by a long shot so thought I'd ask the masses  :4_17_5:

Half link mate for new school...  :daumenhoch:

check the tensile strength of any chains you buy

ideally try and get one that's above 1300kgf

most £10+ chains should have a good tensile strength but best to check

also chain maintenance will help the chain live longer, for example try and keep the bike in warm dry conditions and if it gets wet wipe it over before putting the bike away

also once in a while give it a little lube with a dry lube like finish line dry lube, it goes on wet and soaks into the rollers and dries so wont leave any marks on clothes etc.....

I always go for the Shadow V2 half links, pricey, but never had an issue.  :daumenhoch:
