Just get a decent normal chain and spend the rest of the money on beer and sweets,

I have a half link and its just ok, looks nice, but thats it.

MM

Mmmm, beer and sweets...

Half links are shite...  :2gunsfiring_v1:

Ran a regular KMC 510 for 2 years, no problems

Swapped my frame for one with a shorter rear end 13.4" 28/10 gearing, have to run a half link, it's snapped twice in about 4 months

I've fitted it right n all

Only ride 2 or 3 times a month... run a regular chain if you can...  :daumenhoch:

You have to pick and choose your halflink chains, they don't all perform the same.

Give Stodgy a ring, he'll tell you what brand is performing well at the mo.

KMC Z510HX with a Superstar halflink when needed works sweet for Me, had a full YBN halflink chain that was next to useless, snapped whilst just riding to the shops!
