Where to buy a BMX Freewheel and Chain?

BMX1973:
Are these the one's?  :-\ If so a bargain from Halfords £5.49.  :shocked: Cheaper than Chain Reaction Cycles.  :daumenhoch:

I'd go for an Izumi chain and a 888 freewheel made by Suntour apparently (I think they actually were)

yup there the ones ,  pretty much the bog standard bmx chain ,  always used em,   had a go with a a couple of half link chains , not cheap ones either , but they broke in places i had not joined them  , result being a stiff shoulder for six months  :LolLolLolLol:  so went back to 510hx's  ,

and yes get em from halfords ,   :daumenhoch:   the fixie market has driven the price up a bit in the proper bike shops , 



had  izumi chains too but found they stretch quite a bit , but that could just be me  :LolLolLolLol:

I was going to get shimano mx 30 for my build but reading the reviews on places that sold them most people said they didn't last long. Ended up buying KMC chain and dicta freewheel. Suppose it depends what your using your bike for. Dicta freewheel makes a lovely clicking sound too.

Dark Diggler:
The KMC chains mentioned are superb for around a fiver, you could spend more but I wouldn't. As for freewheels....IMO shimano are rubbish for the money, may as well buy a cheaper Dicta or likepriced, if money is not an issue, buy a White or a Profile

Both are very well made, sound awesome and are totally servicable, Halo clickster are deffo worth a look as they are just over £30 at a few places.

If you want to get freewheel and chain reliability/value reviews, get on the fixed gear forums, the commuters/couriers know and you'll also benefit from good advice on facial hair gooming products and brogues that are good to ride in.
