Half-link chain - advice please

<< < (2/3) > >>

garethgeezer:
Thanks guys, never thought a chain could be so complicated. I'll give it a go as I like the look of them. The worst that can happen is... it snaps, I go A over T and smash my teeth, then get run over as I'm lying in the road looking at my lovely chain.
Anyone care to recommend a particualr brand? The Shadow Con Interlock V2 seems to be the best of the bunch (and the most expensive)?

The right way round is to have the 'closed' end facing forwards, when looking down on the chain as you sit on the bike.   :)

ooookay then... (I'm going to look stoopid here but oh well) - which bit do you consider the 'closed' end? Each link has a wider end which is visible and a narrower end which is hidden by the wide bit of the next link. Is it the wide bit of the link or the narrow bit that faces forward in the top run of the chain?

Hope this makes sense, but which of these is correct? (the letters are supposed to represent the links on the top run of the chain)

Rear  =D=D=D=D  Front

or

Rear  C=C=C=C=  Front

(told you I'd look stoopid!)

jedi:
the round bit of the chain faces down into chain ring

Longun:
so does this look right?
