I need a halflink chain for my SS build… my eye has been taken by this lovely gold number from Gusset… but is it just too bling?

Nah!

Bling?
No, just ming.

half links are ace but you really NEED this 😉

I may be years behind but why do people use halflink chains? I thought halflinks were weaker/more prone to stretch than normal ones, at least they were back when I was bmxing. I'd rather just run one halflink to get the chain length right..

_tom_ get with the programme!

They're cool, apparently.

they mean you can ss a frame with a vertical dropout without having to use a gumpy looking chain tensioner 😀

lol, makes sense now! Fashion before function then 😛

You can get the same chain length with a normal chain for most of it then running one half link as far as I'm aware.

I'm using an EBB on a non-SS frame and can't get enough adjustment with a standard chain & my gearing (32 x 16), might've been able to with a half-link, but thought **** it, I'll just get a full half-link chain!

Izumi Super Toughness chain is the one to get if you are on 1/8"

That IS cool!

a single half-link can give the magic length for chains but I gave up with them as I snap more chains with using single half-link with a normal chain. A full half link chain lasted ok as well. 😕

That IS cool!
